The Left is FAR smarter than the cunservative right when it comes to manipulating low information folks.
They do it a million times every day, and have been for decades. They right just drools, drags it's knuckles and goes hunting.
Since it was the conservative leaning NY Post that felt need to insert Trump's age, are you saying conservative media is far dumber? The Rolling Stone made no mention of age. I figure it would have been the other way around and admittedly still don't how that manipulation is working because the liberals are likely reading the NY Times and not the Post.
