Ivanka with comments upon roy moore saying there is a special place in hell for people who prey on children. She is unsatisfied with his explanation so far. Where do you stand on this. Do you think particularly after ivankas comments he will drop out . I have no idea. I know ivanka trump and you have got to support what she said. I have a 2yearold little girl.
