Trump's 34 Year Old Daughter is Seriously On His VP Shortlist...What The Fuck?

[Doctor Jack]

Could Donald Trump keep the White House in the family?

Well, according to his son Eric Trump and surrogate Sen. Bob Corker (who took himself out of the running to be veep Wednesday), Ivanka Trump would be a great pick to share the ticket with the presumptive Republican nominee.

On Wednesday, after saying he didn’t want to be considered any longer, Corker told NBC that Trump’s daughter may just be the best pick.

"His best running mate, by the way, would be Ivanka. I know that wouldn't pass muster, probably. But I don't know that I've met a more composed, brilliant, beautiful-in-every-way person," Corker said.

I...seriously is.....what the.....there are no words...

1. smh!!

[Kelvin Mace]

2. If he does,

I can only conclude this has been an "Andy Kaufmanesque" performance piece.

[Doctor Jack]

4. Or maybe he is just deranged

I think this campaign has shattered whatever little sanity he once had. This is like watching a train derailment, it is horrifying but I can't look away.

[Kelvin Mace]

6. Or it has been a calculated bit from day one

"How far can I go and still be taken seriously by the media, the GOP, and credulous voters.?"

[MFM008]

58. roasting chestnuts ov'r a dumpster fire

[1StrongBlackMan]

30. So how do we explain the republicans (and others) falling in line ...

I can only think this is a Damien (of The Omen fame) performance.

[Kelvin Mace]

52. Well, Republicans are not known

for their critical thinking skills.

[ailsagirl]

3. Is that the one he salivates over?

Or does he have another-- younger-- daughter?

Or does he have just the one daughter? I really have no idea

[Doctor Jack]

5. That is the one he wants to bone

He has said it many times over many years.

[oswaldactedalone]

9. Wonder if Trump

enjoys a good cigar every now and then.

[fleabiscuit]

47. hmmm nt

[ailsagirl]

17. Thanks for clarifying, Doctor Jack n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

24. Ewwww. 😨😨😨 yikes....

[aidbo]

19. He has another daughter with Marla Maples - Tiffany. She's younger than Ivanka.

http://www.businessinsider.com/meet-tiffany-trump-the-wild-card-daughter-of-donald-trump-2015-7

[ailsagirl]

25. Oh, perfect!!!

yikes

[niyad]

32. this is the one he wants to "date". his younger daughter, tiffany, is the one with the

"rack" (his comment on, I believe, "lifestyles of the rich and famous", when she was about a year old. said something about how he couldn't wait for her to grow up so he could see what kind of "rack" she would have)

[ailsagirl]

36. I'm happy to say I don't even know what "rack" means (in that context)

Just looked it up. Sorry I did

[niyad]

38. can you imagine if bill (or any dem male) had EVER said anything like that about his

daughter or any female relative?

[ailsagirl]

42. dumdum gets away with murder, doesn't he?

[niyad]

59. hell, der drumpfenfuhrer even said he could get away with an actual murder.

he is dangerous, and so are his followers and enablers.

[ailsagirl]

60. ARGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woolldog]

7. We should all hope he picks her to be VP.

The election would be over at that point.

[brush]

27. Is she even eligible? You have to be 35 to be president.

If he for some reason (everyone in the country goes crazy and votes for him) he wins in November and suddenly drops dead, the 34-year-old daughter would not be old enough to assume the presidency.

Maybe she will turn 35 before the election.

[unblock]

31. She turns 35 a few days before the election

But she's still ineligible because she was born in Kenya

[LiberalFighter]

64. No she was born in outer space. Just like Newt Gingrich's wife.

[msanthrope]

68. That hair is just alien exoskeleton. nt

[woolldog]

44. I read she turns 35 in October. nt

[treestar]

72. And the talk of Palin

is amazing, don't they realize the damage that pick did to them in 2008? Republicans are so stupid.

[Chemisse]

8. I called it!

I've wondered if he would do this for a number of months!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1506912

[Chemisse]

13. This makes so much sense - for Trump.

He is bizarre, cares nothing for rules or norms, loves attention, and trusts very few people. Also, it fits his narcissistic personality, since his children can be seen by him as an extension of himself.

[ailsagirl]

18. You sure did, Chemisse!!

[NastyRiffraff]

63. Brilliant, Chemisse!

In this election season there is nothing we can say about Trump, no matter how ridiculous or unlikely, that won't be at least under discussion by Trumpites eventually.

You really can't make this shit up!

[Scurrilous]

66. ...

[In_The_Wind]

67. You got that one right.

His stupidity is showing more everyday.

[muriel_volestrangler]

77. You weren't the first, though

From January:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7567927

[Chemisse]

78. Guess not - lol. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

10. Well, she would be 35 by Inauguration Day

So there's that.

[niyad]

33. she will be 35 on 30 october, I believe.

[Brother Buzz]

40. Yes, but I only mentioned the January date because that when it counts

[niyad]

41. the point is, she will be of appropriate age.

[Brother Buzz]

45. Yes. I wonder how they would view a registered Democrat on their ticket

I understand she was a registered Democrat during the NY primary.

[tanyev]

11. One of them would have to do a Cheney and move to a different state.

[Lord Magus]

15. Why?

It's not like Trump has a chance of winning NY anyway.

[Sanity Claws]

20. Pres. and vp cannot be from same state

See article 2 section 1 of the US Constitution

[Lord Magus]

21. That's a common misconception.

It's actually that the electors have to vote for at least one candidate (either president or VP) who's not from their own state.

[Sanity Claws]

22. That is the exact wording

The president and vp can't be from the same state if the ticket wants to be eligible for the votes of all electors.
The shorthand way of saying that is that the two can't be from the same state

[Lord Magus]

23. But it only matters if the candidates are from a state they're actually capable of winning.

While it's generally expected that a serious candidate should be able to win his home state, most of the time the Republican nominee doesn't live in a deep-blue state. (It was a bit murky for Romney in 2012 since it's unclear which state he actually lives in.)

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

76. No, you've got it wrong . . .

Per Amendment XII, the Electors from a given state -- not all the Electors -- cannot cast their vote for President and their vote for Vice President for two candidates from the same state as the Electors of that given state. The pertinent provisions Article II, Section 1, and Amendment XII, are anti-"favorite son" provisions, intended to preclude the Electors from one state from voting for two persons from that same state.

Thus, the Electors from New York could not cast their votes for both Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump -- they'd have to choose one or the other -- whereas the Electors from, say, Wyoming, could vote for both.

[brooklynite]

12. UNREC! UNREC! UNREC!

As idiotic as the idea is, NOTHING in this article says she's under consideration. Add to which, Trump believe's he can compete for NYS, and you can't win the Electoral Votes for two candidates from the same State.

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Do you honestly think he gives a rolling f*k about electoral votes from the same state?

Good Dog, how I wish I could say this would surprise me BUT:

1.) He's credited her largely with guiding his campaign so far - which the moron actually thinks is going "real good."
2.) He believes she can get him "the woman vote."
3.) He doesn't even have to change the stitching on his stupid little hats.

I can see it happening. Wish I couldn't.

[treestar]

73. I wonder if they even know about that rule

They don't seem to be too knowledgeable - after all, it's "the system."

[tammywammy]

74. It's not like there's a chance in hell he'd win New York.

[840high]

14. That won't happen.

[Lord Magus]

16. Never underestimate how stupid Trump could be.

It probably won't happen, but that doesn't mean Trump couldn't go there.

[morningfog]

26. I've been trying to imagine what name he'd be willing to share with.

I've had a hard time imagining his megalomania allowing any name that is not trump to be on his stickers, signs, etc. trump trump makes sense for him.

[Maru Kitteh]

39. He wouldn't have to change anything at all. Just leave one TRUMP on there.

I thought of the same thing. It has to have a very strong appeal to him, really.

This is SO nauseating.

Oh my grd. I need a drink.

[scscholar]

28. 34 isn't legally old enough

He is so stupid.

[niyad]

34. she will be 35 on 30 october, THIS YEAR.

[John Poet]

29. If he can't date her, maybe he can make her VP candidate...

[Maru Kitteh]

35. I'm at a complete loss.

[Laffy Kat]

37. Please be true, please be true, please be true!

[zazen]

43. the sad truth is that she's much more intelligent and competent than he is (as in, IQ 115ish)

And she's the only person to whom he seems to listen, because of course he secretly wants to b**f her and can barely manage it, but sublimates it through showing her his idea of respect rather than denigrating he like he does every other woman.

It's like America has self-inflicted an inbred hereditary monarchy where we're stuck with a sociopathic narcissistic as monarch and are grateful that his biological eldest daughter has at least a modicum of intelligence and sanity to rein in his worst tendencies (I think this was the case with a few of the Georgian kings, right?). Ugh.

[VOX]

49. Your second paragraph is pure gold.

Righteous rant and colorful description. Thank you!

[stevenleser]

56. You beat me to it. Ivanka is much more intelligent and competent than he is and...

...carries herself in 5000 times a more statesmanlike manner than he does.

If she had experience in politics she would probably be a good candidate for POTUS.

[fleabiscuit]

48. Perhaps he would resign and leave her as President. eom

[mainstreetonce]

53. Wow the first woman president

and she's Jewish

[VOX]

50. Combover Yam wants the world to lust after HIS trophy daughter...

Seriously, this guy should be in intensive treatment. He's absolutely off any kind of mooring.

[JenniferJuniper]

51. Her brother thinks she's a babe

and that's all Trump needs by his side.

This country has gone completely mad.

[Vattel]

54. The article you link to doesn't say that she is on his short list.

[Whimsey]

55. House of Cards with incest

Donald did say she was hot and would date her if she was not her daughter.

[mainstreetonce]

57. House of Cards

Meets Game of Thrones

[UCmeNdc]

61. Trump being Trump

Likes to keep it all in the family.

[Native]

62. Eric was simply commenting on Corker's effusive & disgusting salivating over Ivanka.

watch the interview.

[Drahthaardogs]

65. We call this Murkowski-ing where I come from!

Go Lisa Go!

[AgadorSparticus]

69. No way. We are not that lucky.

But then again. ..Chris Christie or newt Gingrich? We are not doing too bad, either

[Ash_F]

70. Still more competent than him

[kstewart33]

71. Great idea!

Hope he does it.

[Bucky]

75. As the nominee, he gets to pick who has a seat at the table. So he wants Ivanka on the table.

[pressbox69]

79. We may find out

how far the apple falls from the sap.

[NurseJackie]

80. Fa-real?

[randome]

81. You know whose voice I hear when Trump talks like this?

The character of Pete from Dharma & Greg, which I'm re-watching for the first time since...ever. Lewd and crude and completely unaware.
