10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.
I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:
Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?
Person: Yeah.
J: …and Trump is 78.
Person: Yeah.
J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.
Person: For sure.
J: So who do you want for president?
Person: I’m voting Trump.
Jordan: Do you think that a sentient pile of goo trained in a laboratory to hate all human life and subject it to fiery nuclear death is a good candidate?
Person: No.
J: Trump is actually a robot inhabited by that goo. Here is clear, simple, factual and verifiable evidence. Here are multiple videos and sources confirming that Trump wants to kill us all.
Person: Yeah.
J: So, Trump is a bad candidate who will murder your children.
Person: Yep.
J: Who are you voting for?
Person: Trump, he'll go after the alphabet mafia first. And, to be honest, he's just saying he'll kill everyone to be edgy and noticeable.

I'm voting for Shrieking White-Hot Sphere of Pure Rage!
