But Twitterati unfortunately got talking more about the way Trump hugged his daughter on stage.

She has admitted the weight of the moment is “intimidating” and “terrifying”. A mother of three, told the applauding crowd, “Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat”. “The women, I don’t know what is going on with the women here, but I think, I think I’m doing well with the women”.

“They will be very well-sought-after surrogates”, McBride says, and with them fully on board, “A new campaign starts today”.

“Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm”, Ivanka Trump said last night.

While Ivanka hails the importance of paying women, and specifically mothers, equally – hear, hear to that! – it seems that her father feels a tad differently. On Wednesday, minutes before her father received the official nomination for the election, Ivanka shared a photo of her dressed in an elegant powder-blue dress from her label. Recently, two prominent Indian-Americans reiterated support to the Trump campaign.

Brubaker, an East Hempfield Township supervisor, was the only Pennsylvania delegate – out of 71 – who voted for Cruz instead of Trump during the nominating process Tuesday.

Ivanka then went on to talk about the gender wage gap and motherhood. It was a line that elicited rousing cheers, and one that was, of course, is perfectly aligned with her personal brand: her own blog celebrates #WomenWhoWork. “He loves his family and he loves his country with his heart and his soul”, she said. “He is not politically correct”.

I was starting to like her. Well…maybe not like. While spending time both on the convention floor and onstage, it’s only fitting that Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, wore pieces from her Ivanka Trump Collection.

“I like that size if you want to make it bigger for Ivanka do it”, Trump said.

She described him as “the father who raised me”.

Her first stop was to try and shore-up support with members of one of the largest veterans organizations, the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The estate of former Beatle George Harrison complained about the use of his song Here Comes the Sun for her entrance music, which his family said was “offensive and against the wishes of the George Harrison estate”. She came across as competent, credible, sensible and strong.

“His best running mate, by the way, would be Ivanka”, Tennessee Sen. “And I also know that I’m far more fortunate than most”.

Ivanka has been a steady presence throughout her father’s campaign.

“Don’t trip”, she joked that she will be thinking as she takes the stage Thursday in an interview on NBC’s Today Show. I mean, notably, when Senator Ted Cruz refused to endorse him from the podium.
