The entire response of the Trump worshippers on this thread has been to diss Ted Cruz.

Not one of you has been able or tried to actually defend Donald Trump’s scheme to make money off of naive but innocent people by promising them things he did not even try to deliver.

If you think Trump is so great, stop talking about Cruz and try to explain why you think Trump University was a good idea.

Is that what you are going to tell yourself when Donald Trump ends up using you and laughing at you for believing his promises.

Are you going to say I should have done my homework?

They should have done their homework?

So they should have investigated and found out that it was just a scheme to take their money.

They should not have believed Donald’s big glorious promises that they would be wealthy?

So why are you believing his big glorious promises?

I believe him because he is not asking me for money.

Those idiots who signed up to the university should have done their homework. They did not and sound pretty stupid and business naïve.

This is the best business lesson they got. They should have paid Trump 10 times more for this lesson. If you are going to succeed in business you need to know that most deals are not doable and few succeed. These morons were simply talentless. They need to move on and stop being victims.

As you are judging you fellow man and questioning God’s Plan of Salvation, just remember this: Do not take the Mark of the Beast on you forehead or right hand.

TRUMP UNIVERSITY HAS A 98% APPROVAL RATING (FR POST).

REFERENCE The investigation into Trump University emerged from an inquiry into for-profit schools that accepted federal funding....neither Trump University nor its students had ever received any form of federal funding, subsidies or other government aid and offered all of its students a 3 day money back guarantee if they were not completely satisfied......


REFERENCE Clinton Foundation Donor to Pay $95.5 Million Settlement to Justice Department (out of a total $11 billion tax dollars The Education Management Corporation received)

SOURCE Free Beacon | 11/16/15 | Brent Scher / FR Posted / by Libloather

A for-profit educational corporation that has donated to the Clinton Foundation agreed to pay $95.5 million to the Obama administration as a settlement for a government lawsuit alleging that it was using illegal tactics to lure in prospective students.

The Education Management Corporation was sued by the Department of Justice in 2011 for multiple recruitment violations, including paying its recruiters based on the number of students it enrolled, and exaggerating the career opportunities that were available to graduates. The lawsuit argued that the violations made the corporation ineligible for the $11 billion in state and federal financial aid it has received since 2003.

On top of the $95.5 million settlement, the group also agreed to forgive more than $100 million in loans it made to former students, according to the Associated Press. (Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...


MORE CLINTON DIRT—Laureate Education is a for-profit education firm; ex-Pres Clinton is a paid honorary chancellor. This organization has some unusual practices.

For instance, its students serve as telemarketers who pitch the school to prospective new students. It operates in at least three countries (Turkey, Mexico and Chile) where for-profit universities are illegal, author Schweizer notes.

Douglas Becker (a FOB), runs the for-profit university, which engages Bill Clinton to give speeches several times a year. Based on Clintons gargantuan fee scale, that works out to Pres Bill getting perhaps $1 million a year from Laureate, Clinton Cash author Schweizer estimates.

(NOTE On falsified disclosure forms, Pres Bill revealed only that he has been paid more than $1,000 by Laureate.)

Becker also runs a related nonprofit, International Youth Foundation, which coincidentally found its federal grant money has exploded (according to author Schweizer) since Hillary became secretary of state (in 2009) and Bill became honorary chancellor of Becker/s profit-seeking company.

Many of International Youth Foundation grants came from tax dollars-—from a State Dept agency-—USAID.

Then SoS Hillary took official control of USAID, a move that dramatically reduced its independence, Clinton Cash author Schweizer says.

I live in Oregon...by the time the voting happens here it’s usually already decided.

But I have a lot of hope that Trump could be the one to tear the GOPe to shreds. They have betrayed us too many times. We need competent executive management for a change, not a speechifying puppet.

I’m with you. I am absolutely aghast and appalled at Trump — the man can’t speak a single coherent sentence...and his short, choppy redundant sentence fragments contradict what he said yesterday. His boorish behavior and scandal-ridden past are disgusting.

The man is absolutely nuts and not presidential material. We are close to jumping from the Obama frying pan into the Trump fire.

I’m with Cruz.

Do not take the Mark of the Beast on you forehead or right hand.

Interestingly, Donald Trump wanted to implement such a plan.
Trump’s plan includes a “revolutionary” method for locating and tracking individuals who have been or are scheduled to be deported from the United States. “Specialists will implant a tiny radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip into the upper right arm of every individual who passes through one of these relocation centers,” Trump said, continuing, “This allows us to track their movements virtually anywhere in the world, in real-time.”

I posted ‘porn’ ??? re Melania Trump, - photos of her in her modeling days?

Well, YOU are the one labeling them porn, not I.

But, like it or not - they ARE of her. - delete them all you will.

How deep can this denial of anything that might not show Trump as next to God,true or not, go? This is mass hysteria.

Truth is truth - and remember - YOU are the one who put on the label “porn”

Surely , you and the “DON” and FR can handle the truth - we’ll see - You think I am - will be - be the only one showing this? better to face it and get a handle on it?

Cruz is well loved in Texas and he will win. Cruz has fought the GOPe in the Senate as he promised Texans he would if elected. There is no comparison to other senators you named.
