HOW DO PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER GET THESE THINGS SO WRONG?

There's yet another story speculating on the potentially bright political future of Ivanka Trump. This one is from Jacqueline Alemany of The Washington Post. Alemany writes:

If the couple [Ivanka and Jared Kushner] return to Manhattan, there could be an opportunity to run for the 12th Congressional District, which covers parts of the Upper East Side, against Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), who narrowly defeated a primary challenger to hang on to her seat, [a] person close to the couple noted.

Maloney did have a tough primary against Suraj Patel, a lawyer and business school professor who identifies himself as an Obama Democrat. But in the general election, Maloney won 82% of the vote against her challenger, who was a Republican -- which is what Ivanka is now. And in Manhattan, Ivanka's father won just 12% of the vote -- Joe Biden won 87%. The entire borough is Democratic now, even the posh parts of the East Side. How do you write about politics and not know that?

This seems like a better idea if Ivanka wants to run for office:

She could always move to Staten Island and start her career there...

Yup -- Trump beat Biden on Staten Island 57%-42%.

It's perfect. It's 36% Italian. I know my people -- we love tall blondes. I think Ivanka should make Staten Island her power base. They love Rudy Giuliani there, too. Maybe he can help her kick off her political career.
