          Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.

            So, as I understand with all these comments, they’re only candidates if they appear on the ballot on election day? Regardless if they ran and then dropped out?

              They are candidates for president when they are nominated by their party. Trump was last week, Biden never was this election cycle.

    I just don’t get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?

      Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

    OLDEST candidate, rofl!

    Age doesn’t matter. Mental cognition does.

    Convicted criminal

    Yeah, by the deep state using the rigged courts.

    Worst deficit

    Yeah, maybe. But he freed up the economy by approving a record number of drilling contracts, and basically telling the world “America is open for business.” Had this modus operandi continued, we could have even prospered our way out of the negative consequences of the spending.

    Twice impeached

    Again, by the deep state using the radicals in congress. Crazy people hate you? What an accolade that is.

    Hated by most Americans

    Let’s see, Obama got 69M votes in 2008. Trump got 74M votes in 2020. Saying “most hated” really misses the point here.

    Lost the popular vote

    On paper…
