His interest in her extends only to the ways in which she makes him feel good about himself (my daughter's hot, she says nice things about me, she's making my brand better, etc.) Like most sociopaths, he's incapable of caring about her as a person.

Ivanka is only "daddy's girl" because she gives him something to boast about and she strokes his ego. He doesn't want her investigated because that would inevitably turn up shady stuff about him and his business practices.

There is absolutely nothing in his behavior or track record to indicate that he is genuinely protective of his kids beyond their ability to function as extensions of his ego and moneymaking schemes -- just look at Tiffany. I guarantee that if Ivanka was ugly and spent her days doing wildlife preservation in Africa, Trump would care less if she lived or died.

He doesn't care about her as a person or as a daughter. The idea of caring about her for the sake of her is alien to him.

Attacking her is no different than attacking Trump Steaks. It will wound his ego and piss him off, but it isn't a nuclear option that will trigger some kind of fatherly protectiveness.

I think he cares to an almost disgusting degree.

I think he’s hot for her and secretly fantasizes about taking her to bed. And he knows he can’t because he’s her father, which makes her all the more desirable with the allure of “forbidden fruit.” And she’s blonde and pretty and rich and glamorous. She’s everything he likes and covets in a woman. And he can’t have her.

She’s the ONE thing on earth he can’t have. And he knows it.

And I bet that drives him nuts.

They can't credibly attack a former DA and AG as a far left anarchist or something.

And if they try any ugly attacks it could backfire with women and independents, and the few PoC that Trump is trying to trick into voting for him.

16. "Credibly attack" is the key phrase
Mon Sep 7, 2020, 10:42 PM
Sep 2020

And "credibly" is the key word.

The concept of "credibility" has nothing to do with the Re-Putin-cans. They swiftboated a warhero like John Kerry. They tried to destroy the President of the Harvard Law Review (namely, BHO), and they destroyed HRC over emails and Benghazi.

Not one of the attacks was "credible".

On one hand they want to paint her as a 'lock em up' AG in order to divide the PoC base... but then want to try to claim she's a far-leftist who is soft on crime. Which is it.

It's a muddled message that fizzles out in contradictions, that swing voters won't buy, even if his base does.
