I agree... digging Trump on a silly technicality (not even as bad as Ben Carson’s scholarship offer) looks desperate. Trump is kind of good at baiting people to hit in a region where he knows how to hit right back, with expertise.

I say just let this play out. Trump could be a huge advantage if he is what he says he is, a person interested in learning from America what it thinks would make it great again. And this seems like an auspicious season for Cruz, with his visibility even if he doesn’t make the nomination; he and Trump have stayed friends and some powerful cabinet position, or even staying as special liaison in the Senate, could be in the cards for Cruz, and people would know who Cruz is so he could more easily garner popular support.

Probably the best school of business and economics on the planet. I had a boss who went to Wharton. How did he get excepted? Well, he was only Phi Beta Cappa and Dean’s list graduate of USC.

I have a girlfriend who is from the northeast. She talks a mile a minute, bounces between three or four topics at once and will pick up something in one of my comments that sends her off on another topic.

She is brilliant, just assumes I am smart enough to hang with her and understand what she says.

Perhaps she is brilliant. Or perhaps just lacks the ability to focus. Or perhaps she has both attributes.

No, that’s the Jesse Ventura factor. There is nothing more alluring to wrestling fans than a wrestling promoter who is really, really rich.

I know tons of guys who went to Wharton.

And it might as well be Hogwarts School of Business.

What Trump has done after Wharton has changed the real estate business.

If Wharton was smart they would change their name to Trump.

Fancy that girl! Been posting today about Trump and Bambi having the same meanness, pettiness and lack of knowledge. Haha — now we got the education cover up.
How did you beat me on that list? He must not have read enough of my posts.
Gotta get my game going!!

And Trump would have learned some pretty good things there, which is what he might be boasting about. Not even himself so much, but that he has some Wharton wisdom to pass on.

Guess that’s why Trump didn’t get in and had to go to Fordham until daddy could pull some strings.

Let’s see. He graduated from Wharton. What’s the issue?

By the way, what’s the big deal about grades, at a school where everybody is brainy to begin with. To get in you need to be an A student. Even if you have a C average at a place like Wharton, it means you’re an “average” brainy A student

In that case, I shall do that!!

Anyone who consistently has to tell me how good, smart, wonderful, etc that they are, tends to be a sign that they are hiding something. Not always, mind you. People like Gates, Oprah, and others don’t need to tell me how smart they are. They are in the position of wealth due to having a bit of intelligence. That’s how I got where I am!

The Trump quotes reek of incoherence.”

Did you support George W Bush? Ever hear him speak off-script?

Seems to me that Trump has a mysterious sense of destiny.

Never “misunderestimate” Trump (and Bush was so bad there was a Bushisms calendar, yup 365 malapropisms in a cube).

That’s twice now in less than 24 hours I’ve seen that speculation about Alzheimers from FReepers.

Is this the new TDS talking point that they really think is going to bring down Trump?

You might be forgiven for thinking from this, as I did, that Trump has an MBA from the Wharton School of Business. He doesn't. He actually has an undergraduate degree...
So he takes something that Trump didn't say, pretends that he did say it, and rags on Trump for it not being true. Desparation is truly a horrid sight to see.

And if you ever want to see TRUE incoherence, listen to Hussein “Slims” Obama babble away when he has no teleprompter or hasn’t practiced a speech to near memory.
