    ALL of the arguments about age and Biden being too old to lead now apply exclusively to Trump himself. That screeching you heard earlier today was the entire MAGA crowd doing an abrupt 180.

        No, they’ve repeatedly shown that they don’t, but it’s still funny. Plus, age was made SUCH a big deal that I think some undecided voters (it’s hard to believe that any still exist, but they do) might decide to go for Harris.

          i get ya, but i’d rather he simply vanish, never to be heard from or seen again. frankly, i also believe that to be his greatest fear.

          that’s also why it would make me the happiest.

      It was never about Joe’s age. It was everything about finding an easily identifiable “flaw” and running it at the mill. If not for being old, they would have just used something else. Bullying 101.

      If anything, the introduction of a fresh candidate means their pundits will have an easier time coming up with new material.

      No one cares and this will literally never be a talking point.

      Trump beat Biden in a debate so badly, Biden dropped out. Trump now gets to say “dems are weak and messing you around with weak leadership” and “you don’t know who you’re electing with Harris”. I’m the safe choice since I’ve already been the Pres.

      Like this is a huge win for Trump. He smashed Hilary, then he smashed Biden and you really think Harris will fair better? Like it’s some extreme copium.

      Saying “he’s old, ha ha got you by your own standards” just makes you look foolish. Like you don’t have any positive points about Harris to make. Any real firepower against Trump. It’s actually cringe to think any Republican won’t just laugh you out of the room for that.

        The racist rapist with 34 felonies has dementia and is too old, he should drop out. He can’t even complete a sentence. He’s handing the Democrats a huge win in November.

    He’s going to switch his tune to something like “she’s a woman and presidency is a man’s job”, whatever shit Trump throws towards democrats isn’t meant to be ‘genuine critique’. It’s rule for thee not for me type of deal, and it’s whats been happening for decades at this point.

      I don’t think he’ll go for quite that. Probably something adjacent or similar. But who knows.

    Let’s all bully trump into dropping out because he’s too old. I’ve only learned one lesson and it’s with enough media pressure you can make boomers retire. Time for a new target
