    Used a racial slur a decade ago?
    I’d bet my life savings that he used a racial slur this morning if it weren’t for the fact there’s no way his fat ass is up at 7:30 a.m. on a Tuesday.

      Yeah…… for the people that will vote for Trump “used a slur in the 90s” isn’t the grand reveal they think it is.

      Older people tend to wake up earlier, and he is really fucking old. Isn’t it weird his old ass is running for president?

        I understand he’s the oldest presidential nominee, EVER!
        There should be age limits! 70 or 75 at the oldest!

        Ridiculous that a guy that old can be president! Bill Clinton was president 25 years ago, and is still younger!!

          While I do think there are people who could be great presidents into their 80s mentally, the stresses of the job and how rapidly things change does lend itself to a need for an age cap.

          No more than 70 as of the day they would take office sounds good to me as they would leave before their 75th birthday plus it is double the minimum of 35 do it would be easy to remember!

          The same could be apllied to the chain of succession. If over 70 on the day they would be swirn in it passes to the next person.

            We need to get back to the idea of people retiring. no one should be able to run for or be appointed office if over age 60 and if their term would go beyond 65 then the term is shortened to the year of the their 65th an election is held for the office (or new appointment)

              Even though I think 60 is a good age for people to be able to retire, I also think that 60 is low for forced retirement.
