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.

His voters literally do not care about hypocrisy. It will make no difference.

Yeah but Jerry who was laughing about how old and feeble biden is on friday will be singing a different tune Monday. I might just mention how old trump is, for funsies.

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.

Donald Trump is going to slip in his own mess.

That would be the only footage of him I ever want to see.

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.

Remember the emails?

He could step down, and spare them the humiliation.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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

thank goodness the GOP - and especially Trump - have never been lying hypocrites!

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
