When delegates were asked on the convention floor to name something they’ve learned about Trump this week – a man who has been in the public eye for decades – there was little mention of policy.

Ivanka Trump vowed that her father would “focus on making affordable childcare affordable and accessible for all” if elected.
Ivanka has taken pains to soften the blow after Donald Trump’s run-in with Megyn Kelly, the Fox News anchor, which earned him global ridicule.
“My father is a fighter”, he said. On Thursday night she appeared not only as a character witness, or as a softener of his shouting image, but explicitly as part of his political operation. She doesn’t talk about advocating “building a wall”, “banning Muslims”, “defunding Planned Parenthood” or “repealing Obamacare”.
The mother of three campaigned for her father into the final weeks of her third pregnancy and a week after the birth of her child was introducing her father on a platform in the white, blue-collar enclave of Bethpage, New York. Delegates saw her on the convention floor Tuesday, standing with her siblings as her eldest brother cast the votes for the NY delegation that put their father over the top to clinch the nomination. Ivanka Trump will turn 35 – presidential age – in October, the article added.
“He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this too, right alongside of him”, Ivanka promised.
She has campaigned alongside her father and stepped out on her own on the campaign trail, bringing testimonials and personal anecdotes. It’s something that can be done, I think, very easily by a company.
Ivanka’s now citing liberal stats on the gender wage gap? The public solicitation enables her to create an online community of precisely the demographic her father is going to need at least some support from in order to win the presidency-young, working females. “I wouldn’t be the person I am today, I wouldn’t be a high level exec in his organization, if he felt that way”. “She comes off as being intelligent, a smart businesswoman, and someone who’s more informed than her father”, Reid said.
“We have such a good relationship is because he respects me, and because I’m candid in my opinions, and I share them, solicited or otherwise”, Ivanka told CNN’s Gloria Borger this week in Cleveland. Still, even in the unusual life of a child of Donald Trump, the past year has been one she could never have imagined.
“He always made us his top priority”, Trump said.

She is, after all, his daughter.
