    Once again.
    As conservatives balk, U.S. Border Patrol union endorses Senate immigration deal
    That's the same union that endorsed Trump in 2020.
    Borrowing a version of a slogan from an old stock brokerage firm commercial, "when Trump talks Republicans fall in line". Trump has metaphorically castrated Congressional Republicans to the point that they have lost the balls to act independently.

    The beauty is now people can hear his rantings and idiocy and get annoyed by it - let him dig his own grave. It just didn’t matter when he was running against an 81 year old who couldn’t complete a sentence. Now his nonsense becomes relevant again.

    Trump gets more names wrong than an 81 year old.

    We've been convinced by our good friends on the other side that Biden and Trump are too old and in cognitive decline. What can we say, they were persuasive. ;)

    Nothing would make me happier. But be careful Boomers what you are asking for. Young voters are pissed, a youth movement in both parties will not go in your favor.

    Are they though? I'm sure some are, but My girls (18 and 20) are relatively indifferent and their friends are too. I think the silliness of our politics hasnt pissed them off as much as it has turned them off.

    No offense, but 18-20 year olds haven't been responsible long enough to deal with housing, cars, insurance, food, health care and student loan debt. I'm talking about Millennials and older Gen Z.

    The concern about Biden's age was much greater than the concern about Trump's age, but the concern about Trump's age still seems significant. According to Gallup in June, 38% of people were either very concerned or somewhat concerned about Trump's age. A different poll from February reflected that 59% believed both Biden and Trump are too old to serve second terms. So, it's true that Trump isn't in the same position that Biden was; however, I suspect Trump benefited a little from constantly being compared to Biden. Moreover, Trump is now being compared to younger politicians, to include his 39 year old running mate (who, if needed to assume office in the next two or three years would be the youngest American to ever hold the office).

    So Trump thought that Obama was president during Biden's term and now that Biden has withdrawn his candidacy for reelection Deranged Donald still thinks that he is running.

    Minor correction, I think you're confusing Millennials and Gen. Z. Millennials were born between 1980 and 2000. Members of Gen. Z were born after 2000.
