Does anyway else see a set up for Ivanka Trump or possibly Jared Kushner for the future presidency?

You can set someone up for POTUS?

I was thinking the same thing about the Ivanka Trump/Jared Cushner team.... The next 4 years gets them their foot in the door.

You can set someone up for POTUS? I strongly suspect that some of our past presidents were 'groomed' for the job OR at least started down the path to the Presidentcy culling favors and getting "in" with the right people years before they were elected.

I think, given the choice of her father vs. them, I'll go with them. Hell, I'm surprised some of the hundreds of Kennedy's haven't tried to get in on the name. I'd consider Caroline if she doesn't turn into a screaming lib. The rest are useless even though some hold office based on their money and their name. I've always felt the females Kennedy's were more useful than the males since they seem to think with the "right" head.

Id have much rather had Elizabeth Dole than her husband. She's smarter.

I'm noticing a grooming or at least a media grooming. I am not American so don't know about the Kennedys or the Adams. Bush, I don't think I was paying attention to that one and did not notice it, with Clinton to me, that seemed more of an after thought. Just my opinion.

Ivanka being president some day has crossed my mind recently. She is always lingering in the background, looking beautiful and everything. She hasn't said or done anything stupid yet either - nothing that I am aware of.

She has proven herself to be the brightest and most tactful of them all, although given the examples set by the others, that's not saying much.

Well, I'm not impressed with her.
Though, I'm not really impressed with people of means thinking they understand what it's like to live my middle class life because they have a uterus and kiss their kids before bedtime.
We sit it at the kids' school, too and it drives me batty.
ETA: Don't get me wrong, it's not about begrudging them because they have money, power and status. Not everyone can. No doubt, they also work hard.
But, sometimes people of means say and do dumb shit because they just don't think.
For example, DS had a basketball game the conflicted with the NFC championship. One of the wealthier moms on the team asked the coach to see if the boys BB game could be moved so the boys could watch the game. Maybe in their world, it's normal to move responsibilities to accommodate entertainment.
In my world, I work on Sundays. I don't have the option to move my clients to another day so I can enjoy entertainment. If I tried to do that for 16 weeks, when I had a ton of clients Sundays, that would cost me between 400 and 500/month.
And I also really don't like the message it sends the kids. But, of course, others don't see it that way.

I think she is a Trump to the end, and she is going to use this position to promote her company as much as she can now that she's in the spotlight. She may not be 'involved' in the day to day running of it, but she still has a financial interest and knows that whatever she wears is going to have an effect on HER bottom line.

At this point, I think a Michelle Obama run for the presidency is more likely than an Ivanka Trump or Jared Kushner run. it appears that the Obamas picked up about $3 million a year for every year Barry was in office. For the Kushners, that would probably be a pretty big cut in income.

You can set someone up for POTUS?
The feeling I got when hillary dropped out of the prez race very quickly in 2008 is because bama promised to back and support her for the 2016 prez race.
The people of the US had a different opinion.
Papa Joe Kennedy used his money to set up son John for prez, then was polishing son Bobby also. From what I hear the family as a whole stopped son Ted from seeking the prez because the family had lost 3 sons un-naturally already. They didn't want to lose the 4th son like that.

If we are going to call Barack "Barry," tskeeter, can you please start calling Trump ""? Grade school nicknames don't really criticize anything but simply show disrespect.

Ted wrote his own ticket with Chappaquidick. He would have just been eligible to run for president, as he was 36 when it happened.

You can set someone up for POTUS? Never heard of "kingmakers"? They are the behind the scene politico people setting up future candidates. At least that's what I've read. I loathe politics so what do I know.
