    I mean, he is too old. He’s only 3 years younger than Biden. So if the narrative here is that Biden is too old, then so is Trump.

      That three years makes a big difference to Trump voters, that is the difference between “Frowned Upon” and 18 years old.

      The objection to Biden was his infirmity and obvious mental degradation. People were saying he had early onset dementia in 2019. Trump has neither of these issues. He can stand and talk for hours. He was shot and got back up. He’s healthy.

        So you’ve never actually listened to one of his speeches then have you? He can’t maintain a train of thought and usually doesn’t finish a sentence before going off track and never finishing. He fell asleep at his own trial. He is absolutely too old and does all the things they accused Biden of. Biden was too old, so is Trump.

          Trump is old but he’s got all his marbles. Sorry. You just don’t like him and want him to lose which is fine.

                I think considering Donald Trump to have any significant degree of intelligence or political acumen is an overestimation. The Cult of the GOP is a concern and I am worried about how many people have cast aside all sense of empathy and humanity in favor of supporting Trump, but the man himself is little more than a demagogue with a recognizable name.

    The fascists are pikachu facing that people are fine voting for another democratic candidate after one day because they cant fathom losing their strong man candidate. In their world Dems losing Biden = loss of voters because if Trump somehow stopped running literally no one would turn out for the GOP ticket. Lesson is: one party is based on a vague platform, the other is based on a lunatic personality cult.

    Wait wait, the Democrats, who said Biden was too old and stopped giving $ to Biden’s campaign are being consistent in their message? Well I’ll be damned.

              In 2020 I knew Biden was a Zionist, a racist, a warmonger and his issues page was anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian. But I was told Trump will be worse, so I begrudgingly voted for him and got a genocide.

              The same playbook cannot work again for Kamala Harris and I don’t think I am the only one who feels this way.

              You may want to prevent some imagined unicorn scenario that is unrealistic. I want to prevent this actual hell on Earth that Biden is enabling. Watch the doctor’s interview with CBS or just the short segment I just linked to, then tell me again about voting for someone who supports “Israel’s right to defend itself” and doesn’t think there should be conditions on it.

                Hallmarks of an internet troll - a user which makes no meaningful contributions, or engages meaningfully with any other topics other than political agitation. In this case we have pages and pages of history revolving around using Gaza as a cudgel against Democrats, and literally nothing else.

                  Ad hominem. If you aren’t going to watch this and develop a better understanding of what the Democratic Party has enabled so be it.

                  But understand that the people you despise and dehumanize the most can still swing the election, perhaps treating them as humans is a good first step. Instead our anger is demonized too.

                  In Michigan, for example, Biden won in 2020 by 154,000 votes. Census estimates put the state’s Arab American population around at least 278,000.

                  Biden won Arizona by 10,500 votes. The Arab American population in the Grand Canyon State is estimated to be 60,000.

                  Biden took Georgia by 11,800 votes. The Arab American population there is at least 57,000.

                  You know, I could keep quiet and just not vote for Biden or Harris. I am the idiot who is wasting his time on people who don’t even see us as humans. You do realize this makes it even harder for the Democratic Party in future elections?

                “I don’t like what happened therefore the other option must have been better” is the kind of logic I’d expect from a two year old.

        what is happening in these comments

        You’re being weird, that’s all I see? Biden still exists, he’s still currently president, and he’s still too old for the job. Dropping out of the race hasn’t changed his age, he is still an octogenarian leading our country and is obviously still relevant.

          He was voted to represent the nation for 4 years. Why is it an issue now and not 4 years ago?

    Is it just me, or has Newsweek been putting out a lot of content about how Trump is losing and doing poorly, despite most polls saying otherwise?

    Beware this source. It’s one step away from a tabloid.

      It provides a false sense of security for the left even though they should still definitely be worried. The past week is reminiscent of 2016 when everyone thought Trump was a joke candidate and Hillary was going to crush him.

        It was just the Republicans who had a problem with it. Seemed like Biden was doing fine, so why complain? Haven’t you heard of this concept of giving someone a “taste of their own medicine?”

        200% justified lol

        No, hypocritical would be to constantly yap about their opponent’s age while ignoring their own guy’s age. You know, the exact thing Republicans were doing until Biden dropped out.
