The Trump Kids Effect
Dilbert.com ^ | 7/21/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 07/21/2016 10:02:22 AM PDT by GilGil

What I’m starting to sniff in the zeitgeist today is that Trump’s kids are totally changing what people think of the father. People are making the semi-rational assumption that anyone who can raise such good kids must be very different in private than he is on the campaign trail...

A large number of voters – I’m guessing about 20% of the public – want to support Trump but find it impossible because of the way he has so far presented himself. His brand is too toxic. So people lay low and wait for a “fake because” so they can throw their support to him. The Trump kids are the “fake because” that people needed. We’re seeing people say stuff like this:

“The way the Trump kids turned out speaks volumes for the father.”

Has Ivana been seen anywhere to watch her kids. She should get a lot of the credit, too.

The Trump kids are a game changer.

They are not only good looking, they are sharp, and can represent the candidate to good effect. So can Mike Pence.

They will be able to fan out and cover a half dozen outlets at once.

Hillary will have a mob of apparatchiks as surrogates, but the kids will be celebrities like the candidate himself.

It gives the Trump campaign more media power, and more targets to disperse Hillary’s resources for smearing.

I agree, when I saw Don Jr in NV earlier in the campaign, he was quite impressive.

Congrats on a great experience!

You can always judge a man by how his Kids view him.

Trump’s utterly adore him, and him them. I’m not ashamed to say as a father, the pictures of Trump watching Eric’s speech last night brought a tear to my eye.

Cruz’s kids despise him. You cannot fake the true love of a father and his children

Pence can use his son over and over again as to why Hillary should never be commander in chief. I thought that was him on the stage last night

“Cruz’s kids despise him.”

Hmm.....how would you know that? Is that simply an opinion or do you have proof?

At first I was surprised that Barron wasn't there. And that Melania went home to be with him. Unlike the Obama daughters, I get the feeling they're not going to use their son as a prop.

Check out the price of Chelsea’s Louboutin shoes. Not the exact one but close. Yep. She tried to care about money but just couldn’t.

This is too funny. The one who looks like Michelle already has her attitude.

Chelsea has failed at every cushy job her mom has gotten her.

I feel bad for those two kids. They often don’t look enthused to be there.

I was thinking the same thing that after the convention the Trump kids will be going out to represent their dad and will soak up all that free media and bury Hillary. This is really a game changer and does not put as much pressure on Trump to always be in the spotlight.

It must be horrible. These kids are expected to be soldiers and to march when they are told to.

Probably why Melania is so protective of Barron.

The MSM and the Clinton Criminal Enterprise is going to go after them and try and destroy them.
I think they will be pulling just as big crowds as their Dad at rallies and that is going to activate the slim machine.

Cognitive dissonance at work.
