Republicans want someone younger than Donald Trump as president: new poll

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

So, now they want to change the ballot after they had their convention and picked their nominee? Isn’t this what republicans were screaming was illegal for the dems to do? Except that the dems hadn’t picked their nominee officially yet?

Tough Republicans. Your Dictator doesn’t care what you want. Suck it.

OldWoodFrame ,

This really just shows the flaw in surveys like this. There is someone running who is younger, and they aren’t going to vote for her. They wish TRUMP was younger.

Telodzrum ,

That isn’t a logical disconnect. I wanted someone younger than Biden, but I wasn’t going to vote for Kennedy or Trump.

tempest ,

That assumes they even know his age which they may not.

They had their (MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY) chance(s)

Yeah, they had a proper primary unlike the Dems with the incumbent situation. No one to blame but themselves here.

My sympathy for the Republican party is immeasurable (as in, too small to measure).

Isn’t this consistent with when it was Trump/Biden? I seem to remember both sides saying they wanted a younger candidate.

Or it could be they think Trump is younger than he actually is…

This is it

I bet half the respondents didn't realize Trump is over 75yrs

scytale ,

I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:

Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?

Person: Yeah.

J: …and Trump is 78.

Person: Yeah.

J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.

Person: For sure.

J: So who do you want for president?

Person: I’m voting Trump.

Samvega ,

Jordan: Do you think that a sentient pile of goo trained in a laboratory to hate all human life and subject it to fiery nuclear death is a good candidate?

Person: No.

J: Trump is actually a robot inhabited by that goo. Here is clear, simple, factual and verifiable evidence. Here are multiple videos and sources confirming that Trump wants to kill us all.

Person: Yeah.

J: So, Trump is a bad candidate who will murder your children.

Person: Yep.

J: Who are you voting for?

Person: Trump, he’ll go after the alphabet mafia first. And, to be honest, he’s just saying he’ll kill everyone to be edgy and noticeable.

A reason why some German Jews supported Hitler was that they thought that his anti-Semitism was only for “stirring up the masses”.

The latter wouldn’t shock me, but I don’t remember anything but the majority of Republicans saying they wanted anyone but Trump. I admit I don’t have the world’s best memory, so feel free anyone to show me wrong here.

blattrules ,

They definitely have not looked up how old he is, so I’m going with the latter and they thought this was a dig at Biden.

fukurthumz420 ,

lol. they only like their strong man until he looks weak, which most old men do. in my perfect world, Kamala slaps him during a debate after he makes some dumb sexist remark. seeing him get bitch slapped by a woman would destroy his american tough guy image and guarantee his defeat.

I bet Putin has a lot of videos of Trump getting beat by a black woman.

the_frumious_bandersnatch ,

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

nomous ,

2%

recapitated ,

I would pee my pants if they copied the Dems and put up Vance as the nominee.

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

The Republican national convention already took place, don’t believe they can switch their candidate now without a lot of hassle, maybe someone with more knowledge on that will throw some insight in on this.

Okay, but who’s in the 2% that want a president older than 75?!

Really old people?

Professorozone ,

Well, I guess there’s always Lauren Boebert or Margery Taylor Greene, you know, if they want to stick with bat shit crazy.

aStonedSanta ,

Republicans that realized trump was over 75? Otherwise who the fuck knows. 😆
