AARP Online Community and Discussion Forums - Number 8 Bulletin cover

Current photos of the candidates should be used in any magazine, cover included.

Kamala’s photo isn’t new, but it isn’t as old as the “Stock” photo of Trump.

That picture must be from 2015, nine years old? Let’s be thorough!

Your article (examining each candidate’s stand on issues) is up to date,

shouldn’t the candidates’ portraits be current as well?

I agree with @Mdesignwriter59 about the photos. Trump does not look at all like this photo. He is orange and weighs much more. And he rarely smiles. Please use current photos.

Boy, oh boy... I guess we know who you're voting for

Kudos to you. Shame on AARP for using dated photos on the cover. Opinions and decisions can be influenced by visuals. The visuals need to reflect reality as it is, not as it WAS. Thank you pointing this out.

The cover is way better than the questions asked of the candidates. How can any HONEST interviewer fail to cover older Americans' Safety and Security issues? I've paid AARP for over 30 years, and I think I am like most retirees. I am afraid to go anywhere near a downtown area in TN, and afraid of the increase in crimes in almost all our counties. Retail theft is rampant here like elsewhere. Stolen guns and gun crimes are way up. Too many criminals are getting released. We're FLOODED with illegals who run away every time they commit a traffic violation or when they're about to be stopped for a moving violation. OPEN BORDERS are as important an issue for 50+ citizens, as it is with other age groups. How can AARP be in denial about this issue and fail to ask the candidates about OPEN BORDERS and all the violent criminals being let into our Country? Also, why is AARP paying for political surveys of all age groups instead of targeting just 50+ age voters? In the last Georgia run-off elections, why did AARP spend my dues surveying all age voters in Georgia instead of just surveying US?? Does Ms Jenkins sign off on all these "non-political" expenses? If AARP is non-political, reality says you don't appear to be same. Why not do a YouTube video of the candidates being asked the questions that are most meaningful to Seniors???? Why let candidate staffs answer the wrong questions, instead of allow US to see the candidates answer OUR questions? AARP has the two largest publications in the US----why can't you get a LIVE Q&A done for US???? AARP---you are starting to look like a mainstream media company instead of who you are supposed to be. Take an honest look in the mirror! Bias is in the mirror.
