> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > and he said he would date Ivanka if she was not his daughter. She was 15 then IIRC. Who believes that a middle-aged playboy with numerous wives and affairs means “ice cream socials” when he says “date”? This POTUS said he wanted to fuck his underage daughter. And his supporters are okay with that, as well as his “good Nazis” and “Confiscate guns now; due process later.” I have reason to doubt their cerebral function. ---

Neither has a hope in hell, because neither has the weird charisma of their father. Ivanka is cold and wooden, and Don Jr. is basically Butt-Head in real life; he is abysmally stupid and hasn’t got the skill with people his father does. Their poll numbers are entirely because of Donald Trump, and once he’s out of the way the public will lose interest in them. They’re like Jeb Bush but worse. Say what you will about Donnie Two Scoops, but he’s got a charisma and knows how to get the droolers to love him. His kids don’t. ---

You say that, but then I see things like a post I just saw on Facebook - from a Canadian source, no less! - which proposes exactly this, having Ivanka run in 2024, as what they seem to think is a reasonable suggestion. Hell, one guy even commented that he hopes Don, Jr. “runs as a Democrat, so we’d have two good options!” I’m sure some of that is just astroturfing, but it can’t all be astroturfing. There is an actual constituency out there for this nonsense. ---

It takes one person to suggest she run. It will take millions for them to get the nomination and seventy million or so to win. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > It takes one person to suggest she run. It will take millions for them to get the nomination and seventy million or so to win. Yes, but it’s right there in the OP: “Supposedly, 26-30% of Republicans support the idea of another Trump in 2024.” That is millions, right there. My anecdote just suggests that this number is possibly real, contrary to your “Neither has a hope in hell” assessment. ---

I wonder who thought Ivanka giving a keynote at a tech conference was a good idea?
