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.

Short of a major heart attack, Trump isn’t giving up one iota of power. Really helps to draw a contrast between the parties, where one guy is willing to step down and the other is prepared to crash the plane with us all in it.

    He knows if he isn't elected, he's going to prison.

    A Russian prison would be a fitting setting for him. Hope he outlives his usefulness.

    They wouldn't throw him in prison even if he could get there. They would put him on one of their propaganda "news" channels and let him go to town. They can subtitle whatever they want for the locals so he can say whatever.

    But he'll never get there. He has a permanent secret service escort that probably isn't going to be cool with defecting to russia.

    I'm not so sure I agree that he will be held accountable for his actions if he doesn't win. I think he still narrowly avoids prison even if he doesn't win, or maybe only spends like 3 days maximum in prison, sadly.

    "So, Nicki Haley?"

    [suddenly all the Trumpets cast their vote for an over-75 primary presidential candidate]

    It's just empty hand-wringing.

    Ya good luck extracting Trump from your party. I'll be like trying to extract botfly larvae from under your scalp.

    Nope, should've thought about that before getting in bed with him. Now they have to carry him to term.

    Trump can step down and not run. Biden did it. It's all the rage right now

    It's going to be hillarious to see them trying to get rid of him.
    There is not enough popcorn on this continent for that.

    I think they see how dropping Biden has significantly benefited the Democrats and hope the same would happen for then if they dropped Trump.

    The problem for them with that is that Trump will never willingly step down. Unlike Biden he's in it for himself and has everything to lose its he doesn't win. This would also be guaranteed to result in crippling infighting in the party and with Trump trying to go independent.

    The Republican party is f'ed. That's what you get for selecting a selfish lunatic to lead it.

    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?

    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.
