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.
I think they see how dropping Biden has significantly benefited the Democrats and hope the same would happen for then if they dropped Trump.
The problem for them with that is that Trump will never willingly step down. Unlike Biden he’s in it for himself and has everything to lose its he doesn’t win. This would also be guaranteed to result in crippling infighting in the party and with Trump trying to go independent.
The Republican party is f’ed. That’s what you get for selecting a selfish lunatic to lead it.
It’s only f’ed if they lose (and don’t steal the election). So get out to vote everyone.
We absolutely need to vote, but I’m worried that some of these R swing states are going to pull some serious shit and just deny certifying the results.
We’re going to hear a whole bunch about “immigrants voting illegaly” and “ballot stuffing” or the good ol’ “the numbers (that we won’t provide) don’t match up! Dead people are voting!”
they tried to pull alternate electorates in the 2020 election, and it didn’t work.
If they’re swing state, they probably won’t i think. Because there would likely be some kind of massive poltiical uprising in response to blatantly overthrowing electorates like that. It would likely be deeply unpopular.
it’s a concern, for sure, but unless they try to pull some real bullshit, i don’t think it’s a massive concern.
This also doesn’t even discount proposing fraudulent votes, which im not sure would matter from a legal perspective, but if you’re just, lying about votes that you’re submitting, i wouldn’t be surprised if that was not exactly, clean.
The other problem is their convention is over. But I suppose they do have until August 7th to make the Ohio ballot with someone else. Good luck with that, guys.
if the Ohio republicans accidentally eat their own faces with their bullshit august 7 deadline, i might start believing in America again
It would indeed be better for the GOP if Trump stepped down, but of course the GOP decided that they ARE Trump, so they’re stuck with him for the rest of his life.
Do they have an actual platform this time or is it still “whatever Trump says we’ll follow”?
Well, if they got rid of him, it would probably change to “the same, but with a different god emperor.”
