Ivanka: “My father is just the messenger…this is your movement”

MANASSAS, Va. — Ivanka Trump made one of her final campaign stops for her father today in Manassas.

The 35-year-old fashion model turned entrepreneur, and now head of the Trump organization took the stage, joined by her sister, Tiffany, 22, where both talked to a crowd of Republicans about why their dad should be the next U.S. President.

“My father is just the messenger…this is your movement,” said Ivanka Trump. “He’s led a pretty good life… he’s doing this for you.”

The Trump sisters were whisked into the Red Rose Events Center on Liberia Avenue by U.S. Secret Service where they stood and took questions from a moderator for about 20 minutes at 3 p.m. Monday. About 540 supporters came to greet the Trumps, and to show their support for their father, and distrust of his opponent Hillary Clinton.

Ivanka Trump’s remarks differed from her father’s familiar campaign speeches.

“My father is very blunt in his remarks, and you know where he stands on the issues,” she said.

When asked about women’s issues, Ivanka Trump said she shies away from “women’s” issues, calling healthcare, equal pay, and education everyone’s issues.

“All issues are women’s’ issues. We don’t talk about ‘men’s’ issues,” said Trump.

When asked to how Donald Trump appeals to Millenials, the sisters responded by assuring them their father knows recent college graduates are looking for jobs and are swimming in debt.

“My father is the man to get the job done,” Ivanka Trump added.

The Trump sister’s appearance in Manassas follows Donald Trump’s late-night rally in Leesburg Sunday night that attracted thousands. Trump trailed Clinton by six points in Virginia on Monday, where Clinton is expected to win Democratic-heavy Northern Virginia, as well as the state’s populous urban regions like Richmond and Hampton Roads.

Trump may also have a difficult time swaying Latinos to vote for him after comments that he made early in the campaign about illegal immigrants. ‘

“I don’t hear any fixes for the problems when I listen to him speak,” said Antonio Vasquez, 52, of Triangle, and a Hillary Clinton supporter. “He’s going to deport 11 million people. The countries should be working together to fix immigration.”

At a rally in Reno, Nevada on Saturday, Trump said the immigration process needs to be reformed, and that it should not take as long as it does today for immigrants to enter the U.S. legally.

Vasquez in 2012 voted or President Barack Obama in 2012, and he called it a “mistake.”

“He promised that he was going to to do much more for immigrants and he did nothing,” he added.

Republicans in the final hours of the campaign are working hard to get out the vote. Calls were made from inside the Red Rose for additional GOP volunteer poll workers to come to precincts in Democrat-heavy Fairfax County to pass out fliers, as well as give rides to get voters to polling places.

Trump campaign volunteer Laurie Mullins, of Bristow, has been working to register voters.

“I’ve helped people in their 80s, people who have never voted before, register to vote,” said Mullens, who is hoping for a large Trump turnout in Virginia.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
