    I love that the primary complaint is "Biden is too old."

    Biden was born in '42.
    Trump was born in '46.

    There's not a lot of daylight there. But I guess they see a 78 year old as electable and 82 as not. Cutoff at 80? If elected, Trump will turn 80 two years in.

    What will Trump supporters use as their excuse if he loses in '24 and tries again in '28 at the same age Biden was in '24?

    Reagan was born in 1911, so for 1980 he was 69 and 1984 he was 73. 77 when he left office and people felt that was too old.

      tries again in '28

      Bold of you to think someone who eats McDonald's regularly is going to be around in their mid 80s.

        He will literally continue trying until he drops dead. Even then, his fanbase will insist he's not dead, he's just pinin' for the fjords.
