So by 2024--well you do the math.

Anyone thinking a bunch of millennials will vote for the princess is living in a dream world.
There won't be people over 65 in 2024? Are you sure?

I don't think Trump will make it 8 years. I doubt he will run in 2020.

So Trump dropped to 42% approval in today's Rassmussen, a poll he was touting just a couple weeks ago when it had him at 50-50.

Your calculations don't take into account the number of swing votes that won Trump the Presidency...they aren't his 'base'...they are part of the 65% who disapprove of his performance.

They will not feel disloyal at all by not voting for him or another Republican if the health care plan doesn't vastly improve things for all of them.

If you are counting on those Boy Scouts voting for Ivanka, because they were polite to a president, you better go back to the drawing board.

Most guys don't vote based on how hot someone is, although I'm sure there are some Trump voters who would.

Bingo!

What MAN wants to be irreverent, dirty, squander all his money, mean, discourteous to the point of obscenity and disobedient to the laws of the land? YOUR man. Our country has come to a sorry pass indeed when these are the values that roughly 35% of its citizens extol. These are not American values. These are the values of an authoritarian narcissist who can extol only himself and seeks only his only self-aggrandizement and self enrichment through openly illegal activities in the highest office of the land.

True, not all of President Trump's base will vote for Ivanka, but she'll bring back fond memories of him, and that'll help on a semi-subconscious level.
Plus a lot of President Trump's base also like Ivanka.
Also I think she is more admirable to females than Hillary was, so she'll get a lot of female votes.
She's a great combination of grace and grit.
Most women hold Ivanka Trump in contempt. She's a rich little Daddy's girl who would be nothing except for the accident of birth. And grit? Surely, you jest. If that woman had to go through the things that most ordinary women do everyday, she be a whimpering shadow hidden in a corner. I'd like to see just what she'd do if she suddenly found herself stripped of all her wealth and was forced to stand on her own two feet. She'd fall over, that's what. She may be your heart's desire, but don't think for a moment that the majority of American women are as foolish as male Trump supporters.

I love how you just revise what I said into something I did not state.

I suspect that if you look at the statistics of how many of those who are Trump supporters, between the ages of 65 and 90, will still be up around and voting in 2024, you will find that it is not enough to support the princess as president simply because she is Trump's daughter.

People tend to get more conservative as they age.
