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.
“So, Nicki Haley?”
[suddenly all the Trumpets cast their vote for an over-75 primary presidential candidate]
It’s just empty hand-wringing.
Tulsi Gabbard would have my vote
Sorry repubs… you’re going to have to carry this non-viable fetus to term…
If the Dems get a reroll, I don’t see why the Repubs wouldn’t be allowed one, too.
Excited to see JD Vance at the top of the ticket. That should be fun.
They already had their convention in July. That’s why they shit themselves throwing a temper tantrum when the Dems switched, having made an assumption that the Dems wouldn’t just not nominate a sitting President.

Where they made their VP announcement, clearly without an iota of audience testing.
But nothing really stops Trump from withdrawing and ceding the nomination to his VP. Or dying, for that matter.

I suspect that’s more just because Biden would have been easier to beat and they’re sore over not being able to coast to victory.
Because Dems only just now voted and elected Harris. At this point, they are also locked in. Repubs already felated, I mean elected, Cheeto…

I’m not sure what election you participated in, but my ballot listed Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.

Nothing forces Trump to be president. He can quit any time he wants.

So this is an opportunity for you to learn how it really works. Harris was just officially voted to be the Dem candidate and that will be official on Monday.

Oh, he could abort himself, but you know that’s never going to happen. The party is stuck with the weirdo until the election, otherwise.

By whom? Which voter cast a ballot for Harris? Which state did she win?
You need to learn how the process works… you’re being intentionally ignorant which is a form of stupidity.

The process selects a candidate
-
The party ejects the candidate in place of a younger, more popular secondary

Lemmy: ten zillion downvotes
Haters gonna hate.

Dems changed to Harris before actually nominating Biden.
Trump is already nominated. Changing at this point would be a much bigger problem for either side.
Even if they somehow did who would take his place? Vance has been very unpopular so far, and they’ve already had a full primary this cycle; we already know they don’t have anyone better than Trump.
Also it would make them hypocrites, not that they care.

Show me the election where Harris was at the top of the ballot.
Sooooo… what’s your point?
Trump’s free to drop out and let Vance run for Prez
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.
He’s not going to prison
one guy is willing to step down

Don’t give Biden too much credit here.
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.
