    At 78, Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate in American history. If elected, he would be 82 years old when he leaves the White House.

    I’m sorry, did Biden’s campaign not happen? I mean, he was in the race four months ago.

      I don’t think Biden was ever elected the official candidate but I could be wrong

    If I wanted to hear an old, stupid, racist cunt I would listen to my grandmother. It’s the same speech every time. Good riddance to their generation.

    If Trump loses he WILL run again in 2028. Even at 82. And I don’t think we’re lucky enough to have him drop dead by then

      Oh I highly doubt that. If he loses, it’s open season on his criminal activity. And his list of criminal activities grows seemingly daily. He’ll be disqualified, or he’ll be in prison.

        I think we’ve seen enough to prove he’ll never go to prison or likely ever see serious consequences to anything

          Again, that’s because he’s protected as a presidential candidate. If he loses- the gloves are off.

            If you were right, he would have been in prison in 2022.

      As if that would do any good. Democrats need to stop trotting out Republicans.

        To be fair, I listen to a lot of Republicans like Cassidy Hutchinson, Steve Schmidt , George Conway, Michael Cohen, Liz Cheney, John Kelly and The Bulwark because they are insiders who actually know what when on in the White House.

        Republicans are quick to dismiss their own in a heartbeat if they turn on the fuhrer. Most of them don’t give a shit about Christie anymore anyway

          Many Trump supporters do it because they are part of that herd.

          They will follow the pack if momentum changes.

          What is there to lose anyway?

            What is there to lose anyway?

            The votes of stupid people who think that if a monster endorses your candidate against a Kaiju, clearly the monster and your candidate have the same views.

              So you are saying that there are a significant number of left leaning voters that are so stupid that they are both engaged enough to understand who Chris Christie is and do not understand that Donald Trump is out to destroy everything that they believe and hold dear.

              I don’t buy it

          Him endorsing Harris could convince a couple Pennsylvania voters near the New Jersey border, and in an election as close as this that would be major

            Exactly. Chris Christie still has a lot of sway with his Republican base.

    Unfortunately I don’t think there was much there in the mental department to begin with and his base voted for him anyway in both 2016 and 2020.
