Former Trump U salesman in new ad: 'I couldn't sleep at night'
Politico ^ | 3/10/16 | Alex Isenstadt

Posted on 03/10/2016 11:00:10 AM PST by ghost of stonewall jackson

Anti-Donald Trump forces are expanding their offensive against the Republican front-runner, releasing a TV advertisement in Florida just days before the state's primary that spotlights a former Trump University salesman who says he was "ashamed" to work for the online school.

In the 60-second ad, the employee, named Cliff, describes receiving "nonstop calls with complaints" from customers unhappy with Trump University services. He also talks about the school's low ratings from the Better Business Bureau.

"I think I walked away from the job because I couldn't sleep at night," Cliff says. "With Donald Trump, you always have to read the fine print."

The commercial is being aired by American Future Fund, an outside conservative group that, along with several others, has been pummeling Trump on the TV airwaves. The group will spend more than $1 million for airtime. Trump University has become a focal point of attacks against the businessman, with Marco Rubio and other rivals citing it as evidence that Trump is a "con man."

Outside groups have spent more than $10 million against Trump in Florida, a key state voting on Tuesday that awards its 99 delegates on a winner-take-all basis.

If Howard Ruff enters the race, feel free to contact me. I paid my "tuition" when I started investing in precious metals 30+ years ago. lol

I still have a roll of Canadian dollars I bought back then...it's somewhere in the pantry, gathering dust.

From everything I’ve seen, read, heard and researched, this line sums it up best...

“With Donald Trump, you always have to read the fine print.”

So, he has reports from numerous students who were satisfied with the course, and one disgruntled employee goes negative, and that’s who you choose to believe? You must love the MSM, the GOPe, the RNC and the Democrats then, because they love putting out stuff like this. Wise up!

And yet 98% of the people taking the course signed forms which stated they thought the courses were great.

Would of been nice if they didn't have them sign the forms so as to make your vote not come back to haunt you. Like the unions wanting your vote to be identifiable so they could punish those that dared not vote the way they wanted.

It wasn’t a scam, people took the course voluntarily - what they get out of it and do with it is another thing. Do you have a problem with all the universities across the nation who take and scam the students who fail to get a job after graudation and owe high student loan bills? I bet not. Wise up!

I’d imagine this was at least in part a tool used for exactly these types of situations.

A business has a right to protect it’s interests too.

I don’t think people were forced to fill out the card favorably and then sign it.

As for unions, this involved their employment and I agree names should not be on their vote.

Romney’s PAC probably waved some cash around to get him.

Cruz pledged an oath to serve 6 years in US Senate,then went right out and started campaigning for president on our dime. He never intended to fulfill his responsibility,he was aiming for another job while getting paid for not doing his job.

Cruz also billed dewhurst $50,000 for a pro bono type job. What a schuyster.

Does the establishment think that anyone cares about this whole phony issue? The only U attached to the names of Cruz, Kasich or Rubio is FU.

The number you give, $199 for four steaks, works out to about $50.0 per steak. If those are USDA Prime steaks, that’s just about the going price for a one lb. Prime strip steak. If you don’t believe me, just check out the price of prime strip steaks at Allen Brothers web site.

Kids go to college....let's say for $100,000.00 and all they get is a piece of paper.

Some do well by it. Some don't.
