    Democrats have been concerned with his age, it was being taken seriously, hence the calls for him to pass the torch. I think his age was being taken seriously. While he was the presumptive nominee, he would have had my vote because I believe Trump should never ever be allowed to serve again. I’ve said I’d have voted for a dead frog before I’d vote for Trump and that wasn’t a joke.

    I don’t think it’s hypocrisy to support the candidate you have been given, until he isn’t the candidate any longer.

    I do see your point; I believe that it is the perception of many outside the Democrat party.

      I’m just pointing out that the base line statement is wrong. If you wanna say 'Oldest Republican Nominee Ever" there is literally zero wiggle room on that, unblockable. Otherwise they can either say Biden is older right now and still fit to serve(or bring up that he was Trump’s age back in 2022 and they said he was fine), OR just pull up Cooper. Also I happen to like Peter Cooper. Look at the beard on that lad. That’s the one fact he has going for him and if people forget that he’ll be gone faster than JFK being known for being a catholic.
