Ivana Trump speculates Ivanka could run for president

BY ALICIA COHN - 10/07/17 07:31 AM EDT

The mother of Ivanka Trump is speculating her daughter could run for president someday.

President Trump’s daughter, who is also an adviser to the president, has never run for office.

“Maybe in fifteen years,” Ivana Trump suggested of Ivanka's possible presidential bid in her new book “Raising Trump.”

“First Lady? Holds no appeal for me personally. First Mother? That could work,” she wrote, as reported by the Associated Press on Saturday.

“I have learned in life to never say never! It is too limiting!” Ivanka Trump told Cosmopolitan Magazine in 2016 when asked if she’d consider running for office.

My first thought was all their reputations would be in the sewer for at least a paltry generation. But never say never.

It sounds as though she lives in a bubble just as small as Donald's.

Especially earlier in the year. Not as often lately. Bannon/Breitbard has been trying to damage Ivanka's reputation/popularity with Trump supporters (Breitbart seems to be at war with Jared and Ivanka), and might have made the idea of an Ivanka presidency a bit less popular even with the craziest deplorables.

if we don't clean house soon.

Hopefully, in 15 years the Trump name will have the same connotations as Benedict Arnold.

She will be in front of the parole board New York State seeking freedom. Or actually a convicted felon released Her and junior over the soho condos fiasco.

So, he went out and bought the thing and smashed it up good.

Now, anybody can be President.

There is a reason she is always with him at meetings and in front of the camera. Insipid insinuation.
She wants to claim this as work experience on her resume when she runs.

It's not likely to happen, but then, who would have thought the Orange Monster could ever be president.

No more Trumps ever.

First of all, she is an Orthodox Jew. I don't really think that is going to help her out. It might work in New York, but NY hates the Trumps. It's not going to go over well in the heartland.
