Slate "Ivanka to Challenge Rubio for Florida Senate Seat"

[NRaleighLiberal]

(pardon me... )

As President Donald Trump gets ready to leave the White House, some of his family members are weighing launching their own political careers. At least three family members are either being pushed to run for office or are considering their own plans to do so, according to Politico. The one who seems most eager to jump into elected office is Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump who is reportedly seriously considering running for the Senate in North Carolina. There will be an open seat in the state in 2022. Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr., is also considering his political future and how it could include elected office. But it’s far from clear what kind of race he could be involved in. The one Trump allies seem most excited about is Ivanka Trump.

Trump’s daughter, who has been a senior White House adviser throughout his presidency, is going to be moving to Florida after her father leaves Washington. And some close to Trump are working to get her into the ring to challenge Sen. Marco Rubio in a primary. “Ivanka only got into politics to help her father and help his agenda but what’s now clear is that Ivanka is a political powerhouse in her own right,” said Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump. Steve Bannon has also been talking up Ivanka Trump’s potential to woo some of the president’s supporters, characterizing her on a recent podcast as “the second most fire breathing populist in the White House.”

This isn’t the first time there has been talk of a possibility that Ivanka Trump could run for a Florida Senate seat. The rumors started getting strong last month amid reports that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner bought land in Florida. At the time, Republican officials dismissed the rumors. “Just noise,” Republican Party of Florida Chairman Joe Gruters said of the rumors. For now it seems Ivanka Trump is weighing her options whereas Lara Trump seems more ready and eager to jump in the fray.



How far can we lower the bar???

[Zoonart]

1. Oh brother.

She is trippin'.

[TheBlackAdder]

83. Jason Milller, the Deadbeat Dad -- Grand Vizier

[secondwind]

2. Ivanka is a political powerhouse???

Who knew.......

🤮🤮🤮

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. and looney Lara for NC Senate? good dog...

[smirkymonkey]

77. Bwahahahaha!

Now that is funny! Lara is an absolute joke.

[sandensea]

15. I'm looking forward to the cat fight that will no doubt ensue between Incestvanka and Narco Rubio

Let the games begin!

[csziggy]

67. Don't forget, Giuliani said he's going to run for the Senate in Florida, too

Maybe he'll defer to his Master's offspring and wait to run against Prick Scott in 2024.

[sandensea]

69. Now THAT's a cat fight

Although in Giuliani's case (like Cheeto), I doubt he'll live that much longer - diabetic Covid survivor that he is.

And should he catch it again there'll be no magic Regeneron to save him, once Cheeto leaves office.

[csziggy]

71. My hope is that they split the vote

Into semi-sane Republicans, ever Trumpsters, and the radical insane ultra right wing nutjobs.

Then the Democratic Party has a chance of winning the seat!

[sandensea]

72. Sure - if deSatan doesn't steal it

Those nifty ES&S touch screens have been known to flip votes like pancakes - for those with the access.

That's why Democrats have called for their outright ban on H.R. 1 - the first bill that, not coincidentally, Mitch the Bitch promised to sit on as long as he could.

And as luck would have it, he won't be able to much longer.

[renate]

85. I despise her but I don't like that nickname

If incest really occurred, it wasn’t her idea.

I do loathe her because she could have chosen to walk away from this administration, but I also feel bad for what she’s been through. I wish she would just go away and never be heard from again, but I also hope she gets some psychological support for what she has been through.

I’m sorry if that sounds preachy. I always love your posts, but this nickname kind of bugged me. She’s ultimately not as much of a victim of his as some people are, because some of her choices were made freely, but I think having him for a father must have been so damaging.

[dalton99a]

22. She is a tremendous powerhouse

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. .

.

[Hekate]

52. * *

Classy like her stepmother.

And before anybody clobbers me (again) those are a feature of 21st century enhancements, not an accident.

[NRaleighLiberal]

64. from the melanoma kidney clinic????

[Hekate]

65. Pretty much!

It’s amazing what you learn from posting on DU

[GulfCoast66]

54. Cold in that room?

How classy.

[misanthrope]

80. Maybe she'll campaign in pasties and g-string

It would be enough to turn her Daddy's crank.

[keithbvadu2]

58. She is not patriotic.

Does anyone see a flag pin on Ivanka's outfit at the UN?

Have any patriotic republicans complained?

[smirkymonkey]

76. Ugh!

What a completely worthless person.

[sheshe2]

40. Look daddy, I is presidenting!

[Hekate]

62. I loved the no-names-please comment about her from some sub-diplomat who said they didn't mind....

...having to deal with Ivanka and the other Trump spawn too much, because it was really no different than having to deal with certain “idiot princes.” Good thing I wasn’t drinking my coffee just then, but when you think about it, in a world with a steadily diminishing pool of royalty, the Saudis and their cousins in that region believe in multiple wives and many, many sons.

But gods, the photos of Princess Sparkle Pony drifting among the extremely intelligent and accomplished elected leaders of the world, while they give her the side-eye, are just embarrassing as hell.

[getagrip_already]

3. clear to whom?

lol. a powerhouse in her own mind maybe. not that the gop has any ability to stop her. but then there is the real world to deal with.....

[CatMor]

5. Ivanka sure thinks highly of Ivanka.

[madaboutharry]

6. Ivanka Trump belongs in prison.

She is dirty up to her eyeballs.

This family needs to understand that the Trump name is going to be written into history along side the names of Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, and every other failed dictator and autocrat.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

7. Let them divide the Florida Republicans

Sounds like a great opportunity for a Democrat. Who could best take on that challenge?

[FSogol]

16. Exactly, let them divide their party, if the Democrats run a decent candidate, we take the seat. n/t

[liberalla]

25. I'm so glad you thought of a positive, because all I was imagining was NO, NO, NO!!!

How can she think she's qualified for ANY public office??? Gah!

[SMC22307]

8. LOL, The Lincoln Project will have a field day - Lil' Marco v. Nepotism Barbie.

Wonder what other GOP candidate will rise from those ashes.

[Thekaspervote]

36. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

[Hekate]

50. TLP ads will be truly fun to watch

[SMC22307]

51. It almost makes me long for 2022.

I gotta calm down.

[Laelth]

9. .

-Laelth

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. pop some for me!

[Laelth]

70. I've got plenty. Happy to share.

-Laelth

[Blue Owl]

10. Webster's just redefined "lose-lose" in the dictionary

[Stallion]

34. Yeah But 100% Chance One of The Assholes Lose

[JustAnotherGen]

12. I hope she's successful

I think she would lose in the General Election - especially with John Lewis Voting Rights Act - and a branching out of Fair Fight.org

[moof]

13. won't a hatch act conviction end that speculation

she was at least one the white house events

[StarfishSaver]

18. Hatch Act violation is not a criminal offense

But I have no doubt there is no shortage of other crimes she's committed.

[moof]

37. what about the five-year ban on federal employment

https://www.govexec.com/oversight/2018/08/ice-employee-barred-federal-service-after-telling-coworkers-vote-hillary/150336/

[StarfishSaver]

38. That doesn't apply to elective office.

[moof]

49. thanks, looks like congress and the Supreme Court are both exempt

[Rorey]

21. Those trump idiots seem to be forgetting

They seem to be forgetting that there's going to be a new sheriff in town this next week, and they're going to be losing their "Get Out of Jail Free" cards.

[StarfishSaver]

14. I'm rarely surprised by these people but her vanity, arrogance and lack of self-awareness astound me

[FSogol]

20. The tone-deafness in her is amazing. Well, as they say, when your coup fails, make lemonade!

[bluestarone]

17. We need MORE of this!

Let them eat each other up!!

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. Ivanka rubbed elbows with world leaders...

all of whom were compelled to take showers afterward.

[keithbvadu2]

61. rubbed elbows with world leaders

[Captain Zero]

78. Can she run from ATTICA?

if so it will be a shit show...

[doc03]

23. After Rubio kisses Trump's fat ass for 4 years his daughter primaries him,

thanks Marco.

[BlueStater]

26. As a Floridian, that's one more reason for me to get the fuck out of this state.

[magicarpet]

27. For Ivankie the snot rag,...

The White House for her is just a hop,.. a skip,.. and a jump from the Florida senate seat.

Back to the White House again to resume the plunder,.. the pilfer,... and corruption/steal.

[struggle4progress]

28. "Up next: All eyes on Indian Creek Island mayoral contest, as Ivanka launches political bid!

Win in weathervane working-class village could suggest widespread national support!"

[Elwood P Dowd]

29. Is anyone working on a vaccine for Trumpism?

These clowns are going to stalk our country for years it seems.

[januoro]

30. The article headline doesn't say what your headline says

Slate says Trump's allies want her to run against Rubio..

[DFW]

31. Maybe this is being secretly encouraged by Florida Democrats

Now the Republicans will be forced to endure headlines of "do we want bad or worse?" during their primary season.

Besides, it's one of the few states where one of the candidates can show up at her outdoor rallies on a beach in a bikini, attract a lot of attention, and claim a legitimate reason for doing so.

[Beachnutt]

32. I suppose she could run from prison with zoom and what not..

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

33. Awwww that's adorable. She's trying to be like Marcos' or Fujimori's daughter....nt

[Buckeyeblue]

35. It would be funny is she beat him in the primary.

[11 Bravo]

39. This should be fun. Princess Sparkle Nepotism takes on ...

little Marco Milquetoast.

[Retrograde]

41. I'm investing in popcorn futures right now

Doesn't Princess Sparkle Pony realize how vicious politics can get? Everything she's done (or not done) in the past four years is going to get dragged out in the open and used against her. And now that Biden's people are taking over, there will be even more about her and Jared's doings unearthed as they start looking into how much she spent on herself during those years. And no one is going to let her forget Bathroom-gate.

And that's even before New York and other states start in on the family business.

[CanonRay]

42. That what four years of your nose up Trump's ass will get you

[Stuart G]

43. Answer to question: "How far can we lower the bar?:.As far as we can see..Yes......

that is how far the bar can be lowered.............................

_____________________________________________________________________________

Hard to imagine how far,
That we can lower the bar.
Lower than very far....
Beyond the bottom of your favorite car...
As far down as we can see,
and that is what it will be,
That is where Trump will flee,
To escape the powers that see.....

That Trump is a total crook,
And that is from the law book......and.......
If you don't believe the law book,,,
Then wait and see...., and Trump will be floating away with glee....

.....................................oh well, I tried.... ....

In honor of the original post..by: NRaleighLiberal .............. ... ... ... ..

[NRaleighLiberal]

68. here's my stab at a response

the political gods took a dump
and out popped a fully formed trump
his kids aren't so smart
his own legacy's shot
but he's done...so let's have a fist bump!

(well, what do you expect from about a minute of high pressure conjuring!!!!)

great effort, yours, my friend.

[Skittles]

44. would be like picking the better Menendez brother

[octoberlib]

45. She's a robot. MAGAts won't go for her.

[Hekate]

47. Actually, at one point she had quite a fan base & probably still does.The same people who think...

...her daddy is a self-made billionaire think she is a successful businesswoman herself — and so naturally beautiful and stylish and in every way perfect (except for marrying a Jew, but you can’t have everything) that female admirers who can afford it find plastic surgeons to help themselves achieve this perfection.

Seriously.

[NotASurfer]

46. Whichever wins, there is no winner n/t

[JCMach1]

48. Thoughts and Prayers... As mealy mouthed and prickish Rubio

Is nationally, he and his team are very good with constituents.

Rubio's not losing to the ice princess

[ProfessorGAC]

53. Thank You, Marco, For Your Fealty

Now, get out of our way!

[BlueLucy]

55. So it did him no good to be a trump suck ass? Lol

[LiberalFighter]

56. If she isn't prosecuted for insurrection?

[Blue_true]

57. Little Marco, your reward for being a total ass-kisser is being prepared. nt

[keithbvadu2]

59. Their first debate will be subject matter expertise - Donald's genitals.

Their first debate will be subject matter expertise - Donald's genitals.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

60. Battle to the bottum

Hope little marco wins, cause Ivanka Barbie does not now a damn thing about government.

[Hekate]

63. Hope they split the GOP vote so the Dem candidate can win

[Greybnk48]

73. Agree, Hekate! My first thought too! n/t

[BainsBane]

66. She wouldn't be the first candidate to run while in prison.

[demtenjeep]

74. she is so vapid

what does she have to offer?

[oasis]

75. After the next 2 years of reports of Mango Mussolini's damage to America,

the name "Trump" will be forever radioactive.

[JI7]

79. Ivanka doesn't have much Appeal. Her entire hope for winning would be if the trash that likes her

dad would vote for her over Rubio because he asks them to .

Rubio would keep his cuban and other minority Republican voters .

But the problem for Rubio is that Trump beat him in the Republican Primary in Florida . Even Ted Cruz beat Trump in Texas . And John Kasich beat Trump in Ohio . So maybe Trump might hurt him.

But another thing is that Ivanka does not have appeal . She has all the things that people would view negatively concerning her business but without the public displays of nastiness that they love Trump for .

[ecstatic]

81. I'm laughing at rubio right now

All that ass kissing and for what?

That said, between the 2, Ivanka is worse then Rubio, which seems almost impossible. Not interested in any more criminal grifting from the tRump crime family.

[theneworiginal]

82. Can convicted Felons even vote in Florida? nt

[Cha]

84. What's Evident is I-vanka is Full of SHITE &

so is Lar-a.

I got a text from her during the Georgia Senate Campaign saying ..

"Dems are going to take away your guns.. they're not even trying to hide it now"..

Rot ini Hell trumps
