Some of Ivanka Trump's speech would have been more true for an endorsement of Bernie Sanders.


...(He) will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all.

...He will fight for equal pay for equal work.

...(He has) the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs.

...He can’t bear the injustice of college graduates who are crippled by student debt and mothers who can’t afford the cost of the childcare required to return to work to better the lives of their families.

Ivanka is a democratic supporter. I guess when dads running, you support him. However she didn't vote in the primary.

All three of our primary candidates are very very close ideologically. Trump is nothing like any of them

...dozens of times and it included those issues every time.

Maybe if I had heard HRC's stump speech dozens of times then I would have been reminded of her.

Who said it: Ivanka Trump or Hillary Clinton?

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNN) - Donald Trump would use the power of the federal government to "change labor laws" to ensure companies pay women and men equally, and he would pursue universal childcare policies if elected president, according to his daughter, Ivanka Trump, who spoke Thursday at the Republican National Convention.

"Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career," Ivanka Trump said before introducing her father on the convention stage. "He will fight for equal pay for equal work and I will fight for this, too, right alongside of him."

The promises made by Trump's eldest daughter on the gender equality issue reflect a departure from traditional federal labor policies emphasized by Republican leaders. If true, it would put her father's agenda closer to that of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, than others in his party.

Ivanka Trump: "As president, my father will change the labor laws ... and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all."
