While Trump's appeal is limited to party lines mostly, Ivanka is about to demolish Hillary's male numbers. I guarantee you, by tomorrow morning every male chauvinist jerk is going to have the video of Ivanka on their feed knowing what she said is the antithesis to much of what Trump and they purport to support saying "See Trump's better than Hillary!" A bunch of low information voters are going to believe that so long as she keeps selling it. She knows how invaluable she is to Trump winning, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out she's been leveraging her full campaign support for more power/responsibility instead of Jr. I don't know how the cognitive dissonance won't cause mass cranial ruptures across the country but man, Hillary is going to have absolutely nothing to run on other than "I'm not Trump", to which his response will be "You sure the hell aren't, you're more of the same status quo political bullshit we all hate" and that's going to kill. So far this speech gives me the impression he just might be able to keep the facade of capability up (for the low information/loyal supporters) long enough to really f'in do this. | ||

Not sure I would place so much stock in Ivanka. Trump is still a nut with some bad poll numbers. | ||

If it happens, democrats only have themselves to blame. It is quite embarrassing that they would field a candidate as weak as clinton when so much is at stake. Putting politics before service. It's a disgrace. | ||

I could see by DNC 2012 that Obama was the best that the Democrats have and will have in the near future. Problem is I hate the Republican party, and it is pretty antithetical to everything that Trump is talking about right now. | ||

Exactly, literally anybody else would beat Trump, but the Democrats are too stupid to do the things in their best interests | ||
