What Ivanka should say

" As a daughter I tried to have respect for my father. Although I heard rumors about this type of behavior, I chose not to focus on it. When I heard him talk like this, I tried to ignore it, hoping it was an aberration, and not really what he actually would do. But now, as a woman, wife and mother, I find I no longer can close my eyes. I am standing up against this type of treatment of women, and I am withdrawing my support for him as President."
She might be able to save her own brand.

I am not sure of what he really has in his estate anyway. I think he owes a fortune, mostly to the Russians.

Let's see
She wants to have a real career. Women are her clients, and she needs to let them know she thinks this type of behavior is disgusting. (BTW: I am not a fan of anyone in that family, but I might be starting not to dislike Marla Maples if she is the one who let the world know what a phony he is)

Despite all that, Ivanka said this about her papa earlier this year:

“I’ve known my father my whole life and he has total respect for women. He was promoting women in development and construction at a time when it was unheard of."

Not much hope for her!

that running his hands over her ass at the convention seems like something he spontaneously would do and she seemed embarrassed that he was publicly doing it.

He certainly indicated he would try to sleep with her if she were not his daughter. Only the most twisted of men would say that.
