I'm sure America will feel very confident that Ivanka and Eric are lending their considerable . . .

. . . . political acumen and deep wisdom garnered from years of government service and high level dealings on the international stage to the selection of their Dad's running mate.

she is the closest to her dad, and is an Orthodox Jew so that wins the Jewish vote...

Talk about a dynasty...

members in decision-making for this presumptive nominee.

Thank you, Stinky, for addressing this.
Do not forget the son-in-law Jason Kunstler who seems to be quite manipulative.

Its a well practiced device when one is attempting to persuade. Well practiced. He's a great persuader. One of the best. And that's part of it. Repeating key words and phrases. Repeating them so they sink in. Key words. And phrases.

Somebody wrote about this: how Trump's one true skill is persuasion, and how dangerous that makes him.

Tinyhands is the very pinnacle of American hucksterism. Pinnacle.

"Uncomfortable" is the least of what I feel about his family involvement. Disgusted, frightened, worried, scared and at times, laughing my butt off. He's playing this like Celebrity Apprentice and that's the simplistic approach he is taking to this office. Scared that the American people might actually vote for this fool and fearful that the rest of us will be too complacent while playing Pokeman.

In fact, I think he has already picked Newt.


This is just smoke and mirrors.
