"Go buy Ivanka's stuff," Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway

This is more of a joke than serious news.

 

Meltdown? Hardly. You are being humorous.

 

Although this is a reasonable approach. My worry is that this approach we normalizes his abnormal behavior. Whether it's his income tax returns, his constant lies, the Twitter attacks, his wife with naked pictures on the internet, the sycophants he surrounds himself with, his Russian fixation, his constant need to attack the media or anyone who disagrees with him.

There are so many troubling things that are being ignored and in my humble opinion, diminishes the office of the POTUS.

 

Wait, what? Whatever happened to "make America great again"?

Ivanka betrays the American worker everyday. SAD. VERY.

 

All I can say is that voting public is uninformed at best and half brain dead at worst.

 

And Nordstrom employs 80,000 people in the United States. I'm Nordstrom's side.

 

If there's one thing nobody wants, it's to be counseled by the Trump administration. My thoughts and prayers will be with Ms. Conway.

 

So Conway spoke from the White House, advising Americans to buy "Made in China" products. . . .

 

90% of Trump voters can't afford Nordstroms anyways. Bye Felicia

 

FIFY.

Counseled by the Trumpanzees means, "Good job, KellyAnne; but next time, mention the great variety of apparel that Ivanka sells, hmn? You were a little derelict there."

 

• White voters, who make up 69% of the total, voted 58% for Trump and 37% for Clinton. Non-white voters, who make up 31% of the electorate, voted 74% for Clinton and 21% for Trump.
• White men opted 63% for Trump and 31% for Clinton; white women voted 53% for Trump and 43% for Clinton.
• Among non-college-educated whites, 67% voted for Trump – 72% of men and 62% of women.
• Among college-educated whites, 45% voted for Clinton – 39% of men and 51% of women (the only white demographic represented in the poll where the former secretary of state came out on top). But 54% of male college graduates voted for Trump, as did 45% of female college graduates.
• More 18- to 29-year-old whites voted for Trump (48%) than Clinton (43%).

Nordstrom target young, well educated urban shoppers, hardly a profile of a typical Trump voter.

 

I do think Trump gets decent support in urban areas. They're part of the silent majority. The polling already says he had an advantage on young white people, college educated white people, and, if you follow the link, Trump households were also wealthier than Clinton's.

 

Don't worry soon it'll change into "made in Vietnam" , "made in Bangladesh", "made in India" etc. For several years in a row now, China's share of apparel & foot ware manufacturing have declined quite dramatically as these industries moved to countries with even cheaper labor costs ( labor cost in Vietnam, India, Bangladesh etc are about 1/4 when compared to China's)

 

whites aren't 100% of the population though, among all people with a college degree, among all young people, did Trump beat Clinton?

 

I am not doubting the source, but I am a bit confused too... if Clinton had what, a few million more popular votes than Trump, and based on the %'s shown, what categories did Clinton win? The non-white votes couldn't have been enough to mean Clinton had more votes, could they?

 

The only thing surprising here is the crassness with which Conway made the pitch.

 

Hmm. Southeastern clothing retailer Belk has dropped Ivanka's line also now. That's a little more surprising, but whatever. They can do whatever they want, but I wonder if POTUS will go after them now. Sigh.
