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.
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.
He is not a healthy man, Trump will die before he’s held accountable for anything. He’s lived a long life of being a terrible person and the only consequence he’ll face for it is the stress of court cases through his final years and the knowledge that only 40ish% of voters would vote for him again.
Funny, Pete went on Fox and said just that!

Don’t give Biden too much credit here.
Willing to step down is giving him too much credit. He was pushed out because Dems know he’ll lose. The parties are the same. It’s just business. They don’t love or care about you.
They couldn’t force him. They convinced him it was the right thing to do.
Yeah like how convince people to resign after doing something terrible. It wasn’t Biden’s idea. You didn’t hear all the stuff he was saying after the debate? Come on
It’s almost like he had the self awareness to change his mind when presented with compelling, new information.
It’s what mature adults do
If you think the only way any adult can change their mind is if they’re forced to, it speaks more of you than them.
The new and compelling information was that they wanted his ass out.
Damn. You Biden’s #1 fan. And think so highly of politicians. It’s business. People don’t want to lose money and power. Biden isn’t immune to this.
Yes it was. Gold star for you.
I must be his #1 fan because reasons.
Have an ice cream cone or something man. It’ll help that attitude.
I knew it. You’re in love with him. You wanna share a cone with him and accidentally (but actually purposefully) go for the last lick together, pause and look into each other’s eyes bashfully, then proceed to make out. So obvious that’s what you wanna do.
False. Biden wasn’t willing to step down. He was forced to. Just because he did it doesn’t make him a hero. He deserves to be remembered for refusing to listen to feedback until it was clear he’d be tanked by people like Pelosi, another Dem who won’t give up power unless it’s on her own terms. But we can move on from that mess, thankfully.
Was Biden not stubbornly refusing to step down for so long, until his party forced his hand? I think Democrats wanted someone younger than him in 2020 too. I think we’re giving Biden too much credit here.
You can bet that at least the last week of that was a matter of keeping up appearances. The transition went smoother than it had any right to, and that doesn’t happen without a lot of behind the scenes planning.
We must remember that Biden is a politician who arguably plagiarised lines of a speech from Kinnock, sinking his '87 campaign.
He’s not some paragon of virtue and perfection.
His greatest achievement is also working with the Republicans. And look at how much respect that got him from that party.
dude i think every politican ever has plagiarized a speech. Even fucking trump, although i think it was ivanka? Idk, she stole michelle obamas speech iirc.
Also 87 was literally 35+ years ago.
Okay, so we can’t judge Biden on reasonable standards, or what he did when he was being a politician in the past. Got it.
