Tennessee Senator and now-former Donald Trump Vice Presidential finalist Bob Corker made a bit of news on Wednesday when he withdrew his name from consideration and said that Trump's best choice for a running mate just might be his daughter, Ivanka.



Was Corker half-kidding? You'd have to ask Corker, but even he did add that choosing Ivanka "wouldn't pass muster." Corker is right that Trump really can't pick Ivanka as a running mate for vice president. But for all intents and purposes, she has been acting as a virtual partner on the campaign trail and it would benefit Trump immensely to increase her role and visibility even more. And it's not just because Ivanka is well-spoken and physically attractive. To understand why she is so crucial to the Trump campaign, it's important to first understand the role family members have always played in presidential campaigns.

The biggest reason the voters are usually subjected to endless pictures, videos, and stories about the candidates' wives and children is because they almost always help to humanize the candidate. Politicians are like movie stars, despite all their protestations to the contrary they really aren't "just like us." They operate under a different set of goals, a different set priorities, and as we found out this week as the Hillary Clinton email scandal investigation wrapped up, they pretty much have a different set of rules.

So what Cabinet post would she be best suited for? The department of incestual affairs?

According to US Code 5 #3110, Ivanka could not be appointed to  a Trump cabinet:

Quote
(b) A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official.

This law was the main reason why Hilary was never Attorney general.  I believe it was passed because of the Kennedys.

You guyz make me smile.

Donald Trump can create an advisory office right off the Oval Office, and pay Ivanka minimum wage.  Make her his personal secretary.

And she can wield the same level of power as Valerie currently enjoys.

He can certainly appoint her to a non-cabinet position in the Executive branch.  But the claim was that Trump could have her in the cabinet and that's not the case.

Ahh.....you're right!   Sorry!     :patriot:

I was responding to the parade of glee from the drone corps, and say he could create a position every bit as powerful as any cabinet position.

In fact...the Cabinet heads will be going thru Ivanka to get to Donald.

That presupposes a Trump win which I don't think is likely.  But in the event I'm wrong I think Ivanka and her brothers will still be fully occupied trying to keep the Trump Organization afloat.

I agree.

But....I predicted last Fall that Ivanka Trump has a better chance of becoming the first female POTUS...than anybody else.

Placing her in the White House would be the way to get there.

I can see Ivanka being a non-appointed assistant to Trump ... maybe one with ultimate power.

Right now Ivanka is not 35. She turns 35 in November. I don't know what that means- she would be 35 assuming Trump is elected and takes office in January. But she's not 35 for the Convention.


If anyone here saw the "House of Cards" 4th season on Netflix, both husband and wife ran for President and Vice-President. I don't know if that is actually legal or not, but it made good drama.

Oh its very likely Trump will win. LS at TOS did an analysis of real world data and posted this:


Trends are Rapidly Lining up for Big Trump Win
By LS.

Traditional pollsters and polidiot pundits---which by definition includes every GOPe/neverTrump blogger ever to see a birth canal---are about to get another election badly, badly wrong.

As if the Brexit poll (final Independent was off by a mere 14 points) and the seven straight misses by Nate Silver and the stunning 22-point error on the Democrat primary race in Michigan . . . well, you'd think somewhere someone would say, "Hold on. Let's reconsider our assumptions."

Pew has a survey Strong Interest in Campaign showing that more than 70% of Americans are very engaged in this election.(1.)  Of course, Pew shows no one likes either candidate, but that's hogwash. If you don't like any flavor in the ice cream shop, you don't go. You don't read their ads, and you sure don't pay attention.

No, this election is lining up as a very, very big turnout. GOP turnout this season set records, and was up huge over Romney's in 2012---62%---and 36% higher than the previous record turnout against Zero in 2008. All totaled, GOP candidates got 4 million more primary votes than Dems. Meanwhile, according to Breitbart Democrat turnout is down big---almost 20%. (2.)

That's GOP up 36%, Dems down 20%, in a race where 72% of the people are already really, really paying attention.

But wait, it gets better for Trump: Rasmussen today shows Trump holding a shocking 20 point lead (!!) among Independents. That is a whopping 15 points higher than Minion Romney had in 2012, when he supposedly was "doing well" with Indies. (3.)

These three factors: Massive voter interest, monster GOP turnout/much lower Dem turnout, and a gigantic lead among independents all suggest that Conservative Treehouse is correct in its estimates that Trump will get over 70 million votes and win an big electoral college victory. (Technically, you can 't have a "landslide" without NY, CA, and IL, but Trump will carry most of the other states Obama carried in 2012).

Finally, all elections are about hope or fear (or, if you're on Wall Street, greed and fear). In 2008, Obama tapped into the hope angle: millions of white Americans, hoping to "put racism behind us," voted for a black president whom they most likely disagreed with on most issues. After seven years, it's clear Obama had no intention of burying racism. Quite the contrary, he has exploited it and fanned it. The Dallas shootings are just one more indicator that Obama and the Democrats have been a disaster for the country, and their destruction of the nation has been deliberate. Fear of our nation drifting into the toilet will also work to Trump's advantage as it did Nixon's in 1968 and Reagan's in 1980.

Let's pray we survive long enough to have another election.

No.  There is simply nothing in her background (as is there is not in Trump's background) to qualify her for the White House.

Cute is not a qualification.

I once respected Larry, but he's off the rails with this stupidity.  Trump is going to carry most other states Obama carried? Ludicrous.  And if he's using ConservativeTreehouse.com as his source. nobody should pay attention to any of this tripe.
