“I obviously think he would have been great at it,” she said. “But as his daughter, I am very grateful he did not enter it just because I’ve been through campaigns, and the mud-slinging before on a much smaller level, and it was not something I was really looking forward to being involved with on a much larger level.”
“When you watch the news, you can’t sit there and think, ‘Wow, I’d love one of my parents to be involved in that fight.'”

She added that her family is close to the Trumps.
“I’ve learned to separate the politician from the man, because it’s something I always had to do with my father,” she continued.
“Trump and his family have always been very close [to me]. I’m good friends with his kids. I was not looking forward to having to watch our fathers go against each other.” (RELATED: Burt Reynolds Thinks Trump Might Be ‘Too Ruthless’ To Be President)
