One more reason Trump is going all out to attack Kamala Harris: Ivanka

Not his primary reason, but it's on the pile. Ivanka.

In Woodward's book Fire and Fury, Ivanka explicitly expressed her intention to be the first woman President of the United States. I doubt she's found another interest for her fancy. And Trump wouldn't let his daughter be denied.

With Kamala Harris, the media, this country, and the world see what kind of woman who is truly qualified to be our leader. And Trump calls her nasty and mad and stuff. Meanwhile, there's Ivanka with her designer dresses, breathy speech that is reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy, and just showing up where she doesn't belong.

There is a quite a contrast between Kamala and Ivanka. IOW, Kamala makes Ivanka look that much more unqualified, insignificant, and well, nebbish. Trump can't let that happen.

So therefore, expect Trump attacking Kamala more than Joe.

There is no way Joe is going to allow Kamala to be attacked like that. He has her back

the more he attacks Sen. Harris, the more negative attention should be aimed at how worthless and inept ivanka is... even as a human being.

because as the post is written now, "she" could be misunderstood as Harris rather than Ivanka.

think about the consequences at the outset, and instead wait until the end is in sight...

if it were possible to get Nikki Haley to be on his ticket. If he thought that was his only path to winning, yeah - he'd screw over even Ivanka.

yelling at us that we all had to "say 'Merry Christmas' now" because "we won." While I was arguing with him, he insisted that Donald would serve at least three terms and Ivanka would eventually be "First Lady." I told him I thought he meant "first woman president," but who can tell with a trumpkin--especially one as utterly demented as this one.

(I finally just wished him "Happy Hanukkah;" he stormed out the door and I never saw him again. Maybe he pitched this recurring fashy tantrum within earshot of a supervisor at some point and got his worthless ass fired.)

I would hope someone like that would have been fired. I know my company would have fired him. I don't know how you managed not to slug him.

one of those mid-life-crisis dramas desperately trying to convince everyone that he was still young and hip and tough. Hair in a ponytail, constantly going off about "Leppard, man" and his "hardcore" attitude. I'm sure that in a group of like-mindless idiots he'd be happy to play brownshirt--but without that he was only a needy problem child, causing minor shitstorms every day for the attention.

He sounded like quite a nightmare. Well, at least you are rid of him now! And we will soon be saying "Happy Holidays" again!
