I still wonder why anyone thought her a liberal of any sort. Solly Mack Sep 2017 #5
She's a "liberal" in the free market sense. She'll be friends with anyone to make money. haele Sep 2017 #6
So not a liberal, merely a stereotype of falsehoods. Solly Mack Sep 2017 #7

Two entities that do not belong in the same sentence.

On Edit: Except of course, if the sentence was "Norquist doesn't give a shit about working families!"

People said it, yet I never saw any evidence of it.

I never understood anyone thinking she would be a moderating influence.

Putting your hopes in Ivanka Trump is like trusting a pedophile to babysit your kids.

And she converted to Judism to get married "for love", which is something only "liberals" would do (dogwhistle, anyone?).

Along with the idea that she's relatively young and had enough work done to be considered "smooth and pretty" without going into heroin-chic haggard, which makes her look friendly and approachable, which is obviously a liberal conceit amongst the well to do - who believe, as the saying to justify hypocracy for the wealthy elite goes ... "the successful are liberal when they're young to prove they have a heart and conservative when they grow up to prove they have a brain..."

She's just another lottery winner from birth who is going through the motions to pretend to herself she can compete with those who don't have her advantages so she won't feel guilty for keeping all the cookies to herself.

She's considered "liberal" by people who typically understand politics - heck, society at large - in stereotypes. She's liberal because she's not Laura Ingraham or Meg Whitman or some other female conservative icon.

Liberal and Conservative are shifting positions in a map grid where various topics and actions are weighed in personal comfort zones. In very few categories other than maybe general social associations could Ivanka Trump's positions or actions ever be considered "liberal".
