The Ivanka And Jared Plan?

Does it exist? I certainly think so for 2024. Remember Trump not so subtly gave away the plan in that Oval Office photo: a broadly smiling Ivanka sitting at The Resolute Desk with a grinning father on one side and Trudeau on the other. A Trump Family Dynasty, à la Bushes.

So, you've got the do or die crowd on one side, headed by himself with a dutiful Don Jr. and Eric in tow. For them, it's at maximum, all about the short game.

Then you've got the far more politically savvy Ivanka and Jared on the other, urging a Trump statesman-like concession -- not so much in the interests of political propriety or a calm and safe transition -- more like in their future best political interests: 2024 will be all about crossover and Ivanka will need every possible vote to win. Poor Pence. Hasn't even got a clue that the fix is already in in Republican circles. In short, what The Old Man Trump wants, The Old Man gets what with most elected Republicans being their usual spineless jellyfish. Right, Mitch? Right, Lindsey?

In short, Trump has already greased the skids for Ivanka and you can bet on it happening, unless she somehow ends up in the slammer post-Trump Administration, which yours truly regards as highly unlikely.
