Example: Trump will probably avoid all racist misogynist type comments going into general election and people will forget how a week ago he was so racist and sexist.

Young people have 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940 years plus to live

24 hours each day 365 days each year to live....
