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.

    Would you like me to criticize you for things you did when you were 10? Because that’s essentially what you’re arguing here.

    Would you like to say that a politician in his 40s has the same lack of responsibility as a child?

      go ask any 80 year old whether they were doing the same thing in their 40s as they are now in their 80s. Go ask them if they feel like the same person, go ask them if they feel like they’ve changed at all.

      the point was quite literally me just arguing HOW much can change in a period of even 20 years, let alone 30 or 40 years. Childhood to 20 is a relatively small, but significant jump, similar to 40-80
