Trump floats Ivanka for Cabinet, prompting Clinton jab

(CNN) —Hillary Clinton jabbed Donald Trump on Twitter after the GOP nominee answered a question about potential female cabinet members by naming his daughter, Ivanka, as a "popular" candidate. Winking at a Mitt Romney gaffe from his 2012 presidential bid, Clinton wrote Thursday: "We know a guy with a binder, @realDonaldTrump. (He might not take your calls, though.)"

The Democratic nominee was referencing Romney's remarks during a 2012 president debate about gender equality, when he said he'd reviewed "binders full of women" for positions in his administration as governor of Massachusetts.

You can bet the clintons have an eye on Chelsea’s political future. If a stink is raised about Ivanka, it puts a crimp in plans for Chelsea. (That would not stop the clintons, however.)

You mean, is there a Constitutional requirement for the Presidency? You funny guy...

Bwahahahaha. What a great comment.

What a silly passé notion. Heck everybody knows that even a Ugandan could be US president someday. Or a Kenyan. Or a Canadian. Dollar and dream baby!

Hillary needs to be beaten so bad that even her grandchildren are afraid to run for office.

Quit doing what the MSM is doing by cherry picking Trump comments to bash him. DJT makes plenty of other statements on the stump that are totally legit and not being reported.

Hillary's attacking Trump's children again.

How insensitive. She should just stick to the issues.

Hey Hillary, the kids are out-of-bounds.

That binder “gaffe” might have been the biggest non-gaffe gaffe ever.

I wonder if Chelsea and Ivanka will still be good friends after this. I think their husbands are buddies

I’m sure that Trump knows that he could not appoint Ivanka to a cabinet position. On a parallel note, we have allowed First Ladies (and perhaps future First Husbands) to function as public officials (remember HillaryCare and Michelle’s school lunch program). By allowing this we have projected manifestly unqualified presidential spouses tinto significant roles in “ruling” the nation. Also, since Hillary and Bill insisted that Hillary was his co-president, perhaps she should be declared ineligible under the 22nd Ammendment.

Clinton said hubby would be in charge of the economy, so why so hypocritical?

Mistake; do not float appointing family members to administration, especially when behind. Ivanka should take care of her family and business. She’s done her part already.

Is she old enough?................

35 in November (or sometime before the end of 2016). So on swearing in day she would be 35. So she barely makes it but makes it just the same.

I’ll bet Trump did this to cut Hillary! off at the pass from trying to announce she’d nominate Chelsea to some position.

It's illegal to appoint a member of your family to a position in government. So neither Chelsea or Ivanka can be appointed to anything.

How many times Trump and Invanka had told they are not interested. Why beat head on this? Trump want his children to run company when he is seeking office and later.
