I don't assume anything, nor do I post delusional, factless opinions re what will or won't happen. That's what others do, but NOT what I am won't to indulge in.

Ivanka should have NO position, NONE at all, in this administration and frankly, neither should her husband!

You clearly assume something, to so stridently oppose the involvement of these two individuals in the Trump administration—absent evidence of any nefarious influence thus far.

By all accounts, Jared Kushner was integral to the success of his father-in-law's campaign last year. I don't think he now holds the position he does in the administration simply because he's Ivanka's husband.

As for Ivanka, she should hold whatever position in her father's administration which he feels she can competently perform. While not perfect, I trust the President's judgement on his staffing, based on what I've seen so far.

There aren't many people in Washington that the President can trust. Why should it come as any surprise that he would include his daughter—someone he's obviously very close to and who he's comfortable with—in his administration?

Even if Ivanka serves no other purpose, at least the President can hear contrasting viewpoints from a friendly and sincere source.

Thus far, President Trump has shown a strong tendency—indeed, an overwhelming one, for good or ill—to be his own man, including being able to resist the wheedling of his daughter.

Based on the facts I've seen thus far, I have no dogmatic belief that Ivanka should be either in or out of the Trump administration, so I'm willing to defer to the President's judgement on this point, because he should have precisely the advisors he wants, presuming the appropriate security requirements can be met.

Obviously you feel very strongly about your opinion, but I see no reason why expressing a differing opinion—on this particular issue—should elicit any hostility.

It's the damned NEPOTISM, that sets my teeth on edge...as it should do, for every Conservative!

And Ivanka already HAS had influence on her father, which obviously you either tuned out, or don't care about.

Aside from the knuckle dragging droolers, here, some of us see that the Kushners are a very easy target for the Dems, MSM, T.V. "personalities/shows etc. and the president doesn't need that distraction.

I am not "assuming" anything at all. My EDUCATED opinions are far more valid, than those who are just the RAH RAH crowd here.

And sadly, the president has a touch of non-pol n00b blindness/unpreparedness, in some areas, vis-a-vis whom he has chosen/hasn't even begun to choose for positions in and out of his "team". That is what historically kept non-pols out of high office in the past.
