  1. If they don’t get someone younger, Trump is going to lose to a black woman, can you imagine!

  2. Well, if they want someone younger and with more mental acuity than 78-year old Donald Trump, there’s another candidate who’s about 20 years younger and *significantly* sharper than him in the race they’re more than welcome to vote for… just saying.

  4. “Last update: 12:15 p.m, Thursday, August 1: With Kamala Harris having another day of **reasonably strong** polling, we’re now officially in the zone where we can **call the race a toss-up**. She has a 54 percent chance of winning Michigan, a 50 percent chance of winning Wisconsin, a 47 percent chance of winning Pennsylvania, and a **45 percent chance of winning the Electoral College**.”

  5. Serious doubt about that here. The cult is going to cult, you can’t simply pull an Indiana Jones swap like that and not expect a large MAGA boulder coming to crush you.

  6. Well tough shit. He’s not going anywhere and that’s great news for Democrats.

  9. If Trump told them he woke up 20 years younger the cult would believe him.

  10. Those leopards will be eating their faces for some time.

    I don’t think there’s anything we can do about that.

  11. Yeah, you’ve had MULTIPLE opportunties to dump the orange turd and you didn’t.

    You did back his ‘stolen election” baloney, his insurrection and his constant racism.

    So don’t cry.

  12. They do realize they weren’t *required* to vote for him in the primary, right?

  13. If Trump was as selfless and brave as Biden, he would drop out in favor of someone younger and more popular.

    But he’s a selfish coward.

  14. I’m sure a lot of Democrats can sympathize.

    It’s not too late to do the right thing, if not because of his age then do it because of the evidence of increasing dementia. His own doctors gave him a diagnostic test that’s only used when there’s evidence of cognitive impairment. Even worse, he brags about his doctors giving him that test. That’s not someone who has a grip on reality.

    And people without cognitive impairment don’t keep going off on incoherent rants about weird shit like electrocuting sharks:

    > Beautiful company, beautiful, guy’s been doing it for 50 years, sells hundreds of boats, they use Mercury engines, they want to take that out, they want to make it all-electric, I asked, “How is it?” He said, ‘It’s a problem, sir, they want us to make all electric boats, the problem is, the boat is so heavy, it can’t float.’ I said, ‘that sounds like a problem.’ He said, ‘also it can’t go fast because of the weight, and they want to now have a 50 mile or 70 mile radius, you have to go out 70 miles before you can really start the boat up, and you go out at two knots, that’s essentially almost like two miles an hour.’ I said, ‘How long does it take you to get out there?’ He said, ‘many hours, and then you’re allowed to go around for ten minutes, and then you have to come back, because the battery only lasts a very short period of time.’ So I said, ‘let me ask you a question,’ and he said, ‘nobody has ever asked this question,’ and it must because of MIT, my relationship to MIT. ‘Very smart,’ he goes. I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery’s now under water, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there — by the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lotta shark attacks — I watched some guys justifying it today, ‘well they weren’t really that angry, they bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were … not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.’ These people are crazy.’ He said, ‘there’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming,’ No, really got decimated and other people too, a lot of shark attacks, so I said, ‘there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards, or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer, he said, ‘you know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said, ‘I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.’ But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks.

  15. Well, I’m sure he can be persuaded to step down for the sake of the party, and then everyone will rally round Mr Upholstery Elegy in a show of unity.

    Uh huh, that’ll happen.

  16. Hope these losers lose again. Grow a brain. Trump is cancer. Vote!

  17. I mean, good luck? Democrats pushed really hard to get Joe Biden to step back, and that was before the national convention. Also relevant: the Democratic Party hasn’t devolved into a cult for the glory of Joe Biden.

    Trump is entrenched. Even if he *loses again*, that man and his loyalists aren’t going to make it easy for Republicans to swap him out.

  18. Most Americans and AARP members are younger than Donald Trump. It’s an easy search.

  19. Trump is the be all end all. He is the last hope for the GOP. If he loses this time, they are going to be down bad for a while. The cult will splinter, consume itself, and most will think of it like a bad summer job.

    They put all their chips in on Trump. If they don’t hit, they are broke. No buffet. No free spins. Not even parking validated. Gtfo.

  20. I think Trump was just saying how Biden wasn’t too old to be President. (Not kidding!)

  21. Made your bed. Sleep in it. There’s really only one way Trump gives up

  22. OK so let me get this straight. They vote for him overwhelmingly in primaries after he was indicted, found liable for sexual offense, was convicted on 34 felony charges and don’t forget constantly reminded that he was old too and now when he seems to be heading for a defeat they want someone younger??? Well too late. You guys can go to hell along with this fucker.

  24. Trumplican Party: Sorry, weird old convict is all we got

  25. This is not a possible outcome for the current GOP. Trump IS the party. He has put his family in charge of key positions, and they’re all too fucking scared of him.

    The only option is to vote Democrat and show the back office people at the GOP that this isn’t your party. They’ll then work to fix things or create a new party. The GOP can die.

  26. Well, ok. I am certain he will honor the will of the people and step aside.

  27. I dont know everything about history but I have no qualms saying Kamala Harris is the greatest American hero of all time.

  29. Too bad they already had the primary. Theyre stuck with JD Vance if he drops out.

  31. If he loses, he’ll be there nominee again in 2028. They’re fucked.

  32. I wonder if polls would score Trump or Shady Vance higher?

  33. Well, let’s see, the GOP has such a deep bench to replace him. JD Vance is right on the ticket. I hear Kristi Noem is also available. Ooh, or what about a mosquito carrying the zika virus? 

  34. Guess that means they can vote for Kamala Harris. 🤷‍♂️

  35. Shocker here. MAGA Repubs all in with Trump till he kicks the bucket.

    Anti-MAGA Repubs: Sorry but you lost out long ago. And you made your bed with these types long ago.

    Now go lie in it.

  36. Kamala Harris is pretty young. Might wanna look into her.

  37. Guess you shouldn’t have pushed for immunity from prosecution. Cheered Aileen cannon, or voted for him in the primary.

    Too bad, son sad.

  41. Sorry Republicans, you’re stuck with Trump.

    There’s absolutely zero chance he would ever put the needs of the party or country above himself like Biden did.

  43. Too late, should have thought about that before getting knocked up by Trump, now they gotta carry it to term

  44. JD Vance single handedly revitalized the furniture slip cover industry.

  45. Ha ha too late. You made your orange nuclear dump now time to dive in.

  47. OMG

    No freaking way that happens.

    He will never let go and if they dump him he will take his cult members and go third party because he would rather see the world burn that accept defeat

  48. Want someone younger? They had their options in the primaries and a majority voted Trump. Now that Biden is out of the picture, and Trump being the oldest candidate they are having second thoughts. There really needs to be an age limit on who can become president. People close to 80 should be prohibited from running for president.

  49. Imagine being so blind by hating on Biden’s age so long, only now realizing your own candidate is just as old.

    Cope.
