MODERATORS
 
  • At 78 years old, former President Donald Trump is now the oldest nominee running for president.
  • Joe Biden, 81, dropped out of the race on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.
  • If she becomes the Democratic nominee, Harris' age could be an advantage against Trump.

As much as I hate trump. I'd rather have that narcissistic shit of a useful idiot sitting between us and Vance if that fucking fascist ever gets near that seat.

That guy is everything wrong with trump wrapped up in a more emotionally intelligent, sharper, more charismatic, more attractive, and younger package.

He's the exact sort of motherfucker I've been expecting them to push after him to take advantage of the path he created, and its fucking terrifying.

There is no way anyone would be able to convince Trump to drop out. He decided in 2019 that he was entitled to a second term. He's not going to change his mind now.

It's all or bust for trump. White house or jail.

Not sure that’s the case anymore, unfortunately

It may take longer to get him in jail even when he loses but Harris may be able to help get him there after she wins, especially with some serious SCOTUS reform. People need to vote BLUE down the ballot!

White House or big house

I don't think Trump has the stature of someone who's overcome a social disability. That guy oozes neurotypical privilege.
