After Donald Trump was swept into the White House on the shoulders of his far-right base, moderate Republicans and centrist Democrats clung to a hope first kindled after Election Day that his daughter would act as a tempering force on issues, a calming presence even on her father’s sometimes erratic personality.
It didn’t happen. And by the end of this week, they know it likely never will.
“I had hope she would make some difference,” lamented Connie Morella, a moderate Republican who represented Maryland in Congress for 15 years. “I know she makes an impression on him but she doesn’t influence his decisions...Maybe she makes some little dents.”(continued)

Everything this article says is the opposite of truth.
Most everything said about Trump is the opposite of truth.
Vince has done well for himself since that pass in Ft. Marcy Park.
“Everyone” (writer’s everyone) was also wrong about Trump.
She may be married to a Democrat Jew but I understanding the couple are "practicing Jews," which is a far cry from "Reform Jews" (aka plain old liberals who hate all "people of faith!")

“I had hope she would make some difference,” lamented Connie Morella, a moderate Republican who represented Maryland in Congress for 15 years.”
Another RINO. However that is to be expected from Maryland.
Connie Morella - haven’t heard that name in years.
I see what you did..
All the "writers" are either politicians, historians, consultants, or a combination thereof

EVERYONE was wrong, says Anita, apparently meaning all the Dims and RINOs she hangs out with. Typical lib living in an echo chamber who is shocked when life doesn’t line up right for her.
She is there, at no salary, to be a sounding board and keep an eye on her dad's back.

“Everyone was wrong about Ivanka”
When are liberals and RINOs ever right?
“Ivanka Trump was the reason some Republicans cast a ballot for Trump”
??
She popped in after inauguration so no
BTW they’re saying she insisted on scaramucci who is acting like an idiot
