As we told you earlier, President Trump’s nickname for Pete Buttigieg of “Alfred E. Neuman” drew a response from the Democrat presidential candidate which was quickly roasted by MAD Magazine. It’s all pretty darn funny, but CNN’s S.E. Cupp sees it as having a negative impact on Trump’s re-election chances:
With this old fogey nickname for @PeteButtigieg, Trump’s campaign has officially conceded it can’t win young voters. https://t.co/kat1m3zkFr

Suffice to say, not everybody agrees with that — even some who might be considered old fogeys:
Mad Magazine being considered some sort of old fogey thing is a new one on me. Did everyone miss Mad TV? Or liberals calling Bush the same thing with “what me worry” signs when he was president? This is weird to me. Or I’m just an old fogey. https://t.co/2DKQwrDaU1

Not even the young voters that are now employed thanks to Trump’s stewardship of America’s economy?https://t.co/9aZ1B4q51N

Trying to recall the last time I heard someone use the term 'old fogey.' https://t.co/8S9dxKPVe3

I'm 30 and I know who that is. @MADmagazine was an integral part of my growing up. https://t.co/oP0qLy9kVH

I loved Mad Magazine as a kid, as did many Gen Xers, so thanks for calling us old fogeys. Winning hearts and minds. https://t.co/h5ffaNHojc

The best thing she has done in ages is slip up and admit her network is garbage.

Maybe Trump could take a page from Bernie Sanders and court younger voters by longing for the days of something the U.S. Post Office stopped doing in 1967.
Yes, the left will win over the youth with Biden.
