Where are the Republican Young Turks?

During the 2016 primaries I have posted here several times that I was envious of the Republicans that the their candidates were in their 50s and 60s while Hillary was 69 and the non-Democrat Sanders was...75. Eventually the oldest R - 70 year old Trump won.

But now he wants to run and win again, at 82? And all the Young Turks will just have to wait their turns while getting old?

Will anyone dare to say a word? To stand up to Musk?

I can see youthfulness being particlarly attractive by then. Advantage to the likes of AOC, Mayor Pete, or Crockett.
