Some of them might be okay with some of his policies--as has been said, I have a feeling most of them would be okay with the transgender ban--but all of them would be absolutely appalled by his uninformed blustering. Almost all of them appreciated education and the willingness to learn. Even the less successful presidents were more well-spoken than Mr. Trump and appreciated the importance of words. I studied rhetoric in college, and we studied Mr. Nixon's "Checkers" speech, mostly as an example of a poorly-done speech. The "Checkers" speech is still miles above most of Mr. Trump's speeches.

They would still support him politically, these are people who were brought up in a society where women couldn't vote.

LOL.

Honestly, they probably wouldn't have much issue with his sexism, though most would have issues with how flagrant he was in bragging about his escapades.

They would, however, dislike him based on his lack of education and willing ignorance. As I said previously, almost all presidents had a deeply ingrained respect for a willingness to learn. Even Bush Jr, who was seen by the public as "uneducated," reads almost vociferously. Trump doesn't care to do the work that is required to be president, and that would offend most of them.

I mean. My dad is 80. He doesn't particularly like gay people and has more conservative views in regards to women than most "modern" people. That said, he hates Trump's guts. He voted for Hillary. Many other in his generation also dislike Trump but held their noses and voted for him because of the supreme court (abortion). Previous presidents wouldn't have that reasoning. They would almost as a whole dislike him.
