question everything

Why would anyone think that Ivanka Trump will bring the women's votes?

A beautiful woman born with the ubiquitous silver spoon in her mouth. Got nice genes from her mother and a nice job from her dad. At 34, is worth $150 million. How can working women, single women even begin to identify with her?

(One of the pundits speculated...)

There is no flicker of passing emotion or amusement playing across her perfect doll expression. To me she looks like an android without any other expression than a perfectly neutral, albeit pleasant look which expressed nothing whatsoever seemingly being someone's idea of feminine beauty.

When I see her there is no there there.

It was from her collection. She has an almost perfect figure and it did not fit well. I doubt anyone is running out to buy this "gem"

because her father is running for President.

Does anyone think people will vote for Clinton based on what Chelsea says?

for god's sake he had to dig up Scott Baio. He has to use his kids. Even Sarah Palin snubbed him. And you can't get much worse than that.

That was the question I answered. Whether or not he can get other people is beside the point of that narrow question.

To get a bit more broad, I actually do think people will listen to Ivanka. And for the shallowest of reasons: She's pretty.

It was reported a while back they had no chemistry. It was reported that he thought she was pretty stupid, too. Not worded that way, but that was the thrust of it.

Females vote by vagina, right? Therefore, the Princess Privilege Barbie will lead the way!


Yep, I'm gagging.

. . . if you've ever heard her talk on CNBC, you'll understand why she's a repeat visitor. She's not exactly fond of labor or raising the minimum wage.

She has all of her tacky/shoes clothing made by cheap labor overseas which we all know pay slave wages.

She is a daddy's girl--she's "BIGLY" in love with cheap labor

I've nothing in common with Ivanka tRump and neither do any of my girlfriends.

NONE of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouths. We've had to work hard for all we've earned in life. None of us are clothes and shoe design thieves. None of us to my knowledge have had our father's ogle us and tell us that he'd bang us if we weren't his daughter.

By the way, that alleged "beauty" of Ivanka's was bought and paid for.

and admit I have been known to watch "Celebrity Apprentice". It used to be kind of funny. When she appeared however, I was struck by how much she was her father's clone - in speech, in mannerisms, in mouth pouts. It was striking and rather "Stepford". I found her aloof at best and frightening at worst. I felt nothing remotely relatable in her.
