Ivanka for president

[Curious layman]

Any thoughts on Ivanka Trumps future in politics. From the little I've seen she seems to be serious about it. Does anyone think she can actually gain enough support to achieve anything?

 

[iNow]

Probably, though she’d be better served IMO to aim for a lower office first. Maybe Senator. 

[Zerbo]

I think that's the plan too. That's why they have now moved to a republican state. It should be easier for her to get a higher position in the state.

The question for me is, does Donald step down a bit. If he continues to knock as before, Ivanka's chances will also disappear. If he holds back, Ivanka's Chacen should also rise.

I doubt if he sees that. But maybe his daughter can explain it to him.

I think D Trump is taking the example of one of his favorite despots, V Putin.
When V Putin was constitutionally prevented from running for the Russian Presidency, he inserted D Medvedev as a 'puppet', until he could step back into the Presidency and continue his efforts to make it  a lifetime position for himself.

[iNow]

Don Jr is likely to try first. We can tell he’s working very hard based on all the mountains of cocaine he’s apparently imbibing.

In my opinion, Ivanka is the most worthy of all members of the family to continue her political career, I think she will succeed.

[Airbrush]

Trump may continue to have rallies and interviews on Fox News, just for fun, but in 4 years he will probably be too tired to run for president.  He admitted that he thought it would be easier to be president than a professional playboy / private business owner.  Then the rude awakening that being president is a pain in the a$$.

Don Jr. may have the spunk to run for president, just for the hell of it.

Most media reports suggest Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to Donald and wife of Eric, is the most likely to run for Senate in North Carolina. This will likely happen before any of the others try it.

What is it that makes her worthy?

Especially with the high bar given?

Exactly.

Reminds me of "who is the most fluent in Italian?"

What if she might have inherited some genetic factors in her father's proneness to greed, spite, slander, violence, etc...?

Can you establish that these characteristics have a genetic basis?

[iNow]

Whether through nature or nurture, she certainly displays them.

Well, there's the "warrior gene," but the significance of its role is disputed. With no way of knowing for sure, why not err on the side of caution and seek Presidential candidates from OUTSIDE his family?

 

Quite frankly, given how irrationally some people have been known to react (this site being an exception of course) to blaming genetics for these traits, I wouldn't be surprised if biologists sugar-coated their conclusions just to keep pissed-off voters from pushing to cut their funding. Nature IS nurture, as the fact that we nurture differently than our evolutionary cousins has demonstrated.

[iNow]

So, no?

[MigL]

Well ...
She is much easier to look at, and, has normal hair.
But ...
She has bad taste in men, as exemplified by her husband, and the father she looks up to.

[iNow]

She also refused to let the secret service agents who protected her life with their own even use the restroom in her home 

Which had like 12 of them
