True. I’d greatly respect any GOP pol who said out loud for the record “if you’re a white nationalist I want nothing to do with you, and neither should any follower of mine”. Or a Dem who said to Al Sharpton “why should I care if you get along with me??”
Both are highly unlikely.

There are a lot of reasonable criticisms of Sharpton, but I don’t think he can be compared to white supremacists.
Not making equivalency of the subjects. Just of the pandering.

That’s not how I read it.
Granted he mentioned her looks once, along with some comments about Melania’s:
Starving_Artist:
Off to one side was Melania, she of squinty eye…On the other side was Ivanka [looking] beautiful…
…I don’t find Melania particularly likable (or beautiful)…
But then there’s the rest of what he said about Ivanka:
[She is] charming [and] intelligent… She would be great hosting White House dinners, meeting with foreign dignitaries and heads of state, and would be a great ambassador for both Trump and the U.S. on the world stage. And she seems to be respected by almost everyone, Republican, Democrat, young and old, male and female.
She seems to have won almost universal respect for her charm, intelligence and business savvy and to me she’d be quite effective as a unifier among those Trump would have to deal with, both on domestic and international fronts…She’s quite an impressive young woman. I also think she could work wonders during the campaign in bringing undecided women into the fold.
Still, this is one of the areas where Ivanka might prove invaluable. She seems as tactful and charming as he is gruff and outspoken, and like I said in the OP I think she’d be a hell of an asset in dealing with Congress and foreign leaders and dignitaries. And like her father, she seems to be quite the multi-tasker and would probably be able to juggle these different duties with ease.
Doesn’t seem like “hotter” enters into it at all.
Pfffffft - The Donald should just abdicate in favor of Ivanka. I think she is far better presidential material than either her father or stepmother.
