I voted for him twice but prefer that we get some new folks running.

Too old and too much baggage. We can nominate a strong Republican younger candidate

I concur with you that Trump is too old and has too much baggage. I also don't like the idea of POTUS being a dynasty. In 2000 I left POTUS vote empty on my ballot out of principal. The electoral college in my state is so small it will not affect the outcome of an election.

About the age issue, I came across a site that lists ages for Senators. I was amazed that almost 1/2 of the Senators are over 70 years of age, and 14 are over 80 years of age. Come on Senators, pass the torch on to the younger generation.

That's why we need term limits, people totally out of touch with reality and what's really going on shouldn't be in positions of power over the rest of us

Not just the people voted in but also the bureaucrats.
