Ivanka Trump pitches to women voters

Ivanka Trump’s address at the Republican National Convention Thursday not only spoke to Republicans, but also to Democrats, according to at least one expert.

“Ivanka went on to work as a real estate executive in the family firm and start shoe, clothing and accessories lines, which all fall into the affordable luxury category and are popular with working women.”

Ivanka Trump got an enthusiastic welcome at the Republican National Convention.

“For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion”, emphasized Ivanka. “I will fight for this, too, right alongside of him”. Indeed, in polling that “Make It Work” conducted a year ago, we found that 93 percent of all voters support equal pay, including 79 percent of Republicans, and 75 percent of voters support making affordable, quality care available nationally.

Among the children, Ivanka is the one who is often the bridge to women voters and seems to have the mission of selling her father’s softer side.

I like Ivanka because she comes across like every woman.

Ivanka Trump is a talented speaker and possibly gifted politician who on Thursday night gave the best speech of this week’s Republican convention.

She also helps run her father’s campaign in between family and work obligations by meeting with various groups who could support her father’s bid.

Her ensemble was “modern, feminine and attractive”, said Peter Marx, president of the Washington, D.C. -area luxury women’s fashion shop Saks Jandel.

Twitter as well as the audience responded with cheers for Ivanka.

She recited familiar stats on the gender wage gap, continuing, “As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce, and he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all”.

Ivanka was reunited with her earring and took pictures with Hopkins.

Last fall, Politico Magazine dubbed Ivanka “the quiet power behind the Trump throne”.

Ivanka – both founder and CEO of The Ivanka Trump Collection and EVP of acquisitions and development at The Trump Organization – welcomed her father in Cleveland wearing the Carra pumps from her collection in a textured beige with a stacked 4-inch heel and a pointed toe. “What’s risky about Ivanka is that when she lies, you want to believe her”.
