Okay, but why do we care about polls as much now? Haven’t they been spectacularly wrong for the past few election cycles? Not all, but I definitely feel like the overall accuracy and reliability of most national and state polling has been exceptionally poor.

In any case, I’m not at all surprised that his supporters aren’t bothered by the indictments. It’s a cult. Like, actually.

The definition of 'old' has also shifted, though. Personally I don't care much how old a person are. I only care how old their ideas are.

I suppose. That's when we end up with people like Reagan who have no idea what the hell's going on. Or Biden saying things like "God Save the Queen" which nobody knows what the hell he's talking about. I don't want to presume your age or life experience, but so many old people when they start to lose their minds, they can go quickly. It's why we should have a max age limit, just like we have a min age limit.
