MODERATORS
 

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.

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

According to his nft's he looks to be in the early 40s, with a body like a greek god.

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.

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.

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

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

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