More passive aggressive criticism from a weaselly politician. Now do you see why so many people were attracted to Trump’s direct approach? What would you rather have? A guy who calls his opponents insulting names or a guy who hides his true feelings and intentions by criticizing someone while pretending not to criticize him?

DeSantis is downright Romney-esque. Is this what people want - to go back to Bush, Romney, McCain type candidates? Candidates who hide their unwillingness to fight for the base, behind “civility”?

Trump isn’t 80

He'll be 78 on Election Day next year. Whoever Trump chooses for his vice-presidential nominee better be good - that person might end up president.

Lmao

Destablishment got rocked so badly that all he has left is “Trump’s too old”

Sorry @RonDeSantis, Trump is perfectly positioned to destroy the deep state and save America before riding off into the sunset. You are owned by the deep state. pic.twitter.com/mqy99y5kwK— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) September 12, 2023

One thing I have learned in life. We have no guarantees when about when our time is up. I know a 96 year old blind woman who is sharp as a tack. God gifted her her mind though her sight is almost gone.

Biden is a degenerate who never used his mind much, so in his early 80’s he is a vegetable.

Not a single one of those GOPe buffoons is any good. I won’t waste my time voting for one of them.

The hubris of this man, to think he was ready for prime time, shows both utter ignorance, and intellectual and moral weakness to fall for the RINOS and never-Trumpers’ BS praise.

This is like a comedy plot line.

DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE 80 YR OLD.

Reagan responded: “Not at all, Mr. Trehwitt, and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth, and inexperience. If I still have time, I might add, Mr. Trehwitt, I might add that it was Seneca, or it was Cicero, I don’t know which, that said, ‘If it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state.’”

"The presidency’s not a job for someone that’s 80 years old,
and there’s nothing wrong with being 80,”.."

ron disgruntled® raises the bar on jack-assery.

Any republican who has witnessed the past two stolen elections, yet refuses to drop out of the race and support Trump is dead to me and will never get my support.

A DeJeb is a Jeb circa 2016.

It’s one that I saw here first. Chuckled when I saw it and figured it would trigger a whole lot of swamp characters if used..

Thanks for playing

It’s not a job for a Deep State toady of any age.

Discriminating against the elderly, eh Ron???

This ain't gonna win him any fans in The Villages. What a stupid thing for anyone--much less the Florida governor--to say.

In this case, DeSantos isn't so wrong. It's really not a job for an 80 yr old.

As he constantly demonstrates, President Trump isn't your average octogenarian. He speaks for hours at rallies - Biden does that for 10 minutes and they cut the mic.

So it really comes down to the individual. Should Meatball ever crack 20% support and merit a debate with RPOTUS, we'll see who has the mental acuity for the job.
