It’s like any other scam, greed is appealed to, reason is suspended and money is entrusted to untrustworthy people.
The way he was all buddy-buddy with Rubio at the debate. And how he basically sung praises of Rubio afterwards, declaring him not an enemy but a friend, as well as presidential material:

I don’t believe anyone should be praising an empty cretin like Rubio under any circumstances, and Ted lost my respect for doing so.
Yet you have no problem with the man who cozied up with Bill and Hill and donated big bucks to their causes - causes 100% opposed to ours.
Interesting.
Trump:
"I'm going to make America GREAT AGAIN! We're going to be WINNING all the time!"
Trump:
Art of the Deal:
The final key to the way I promote is bravado.
I play to people's fantasies.
People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do.
That's why a little hyperbole never hurts.
People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.
I call it truthful hyperbole.
It's an innocent form of exaggeration
and a very effective form of promotion. - Source
Never said I didn’t have problems with Trump.
I’m still voting for Trump! :-D
Always rough when people part with their money - but Trump University taught them A GREAT LIFE LESSON - which is that big money simply DOES NOT COME EASY.
So, for these people LOOKING FOR A QUICK SCORE, they now know it’s not that easy, and hopefully they go back to their old careers, having learned a MAJOR LIFE LESSON for very little money (relatively speaking).
Fair enough. Just so I better understand your position, how would you feel about someone-anyone-who praises Barack Obama?
Credibility kind of went down the tubes about there.
That’s why it was rebranded.
You can get rich in real estate but it takes initiative, risk and lots of hard work.
If you think you’re going to get rich sitting down and doing nothing, you won’t make money.
If you get the tools to make money you have to put them to work.
And no one will ever guarantee you make money.
And Hillary "believes she's never lied."
We are so screwed.
“As an example, the house is being foreclosed. You go see your bank - maybe you can make a deal, maybe you can’t. But you can make a deal with a bank on another house, Larry, because - and much better than the one you’re living in. And they’ll take back financing. They’ll do any deal to get rid of their product.”
Maybe that works for billionaires, but I doubt the rest of us could expect a better house we still can’t pay for.
But Ted fully lost me after witnessing him cozying up to Rubio these past few days.
Obviously we are on different planets.
Obama is obviously far worse than Rubio. Does that clarify?
So, for these people LOOKING FOR A QUICK SCORE, they now know it’s not that easy, and hopefully they go back to their old careers, having learned a MAJOR LIFE LESSON for very little money (relatively speaking).
Honestly speaking, if Trump scams his way into the White House (more probably gives us President Hillary) that will be the "GREAT LIFE LESSON" you're praising, the "QUICK SCORE" that you envision for America.
You sound like a time share pitchmen, fresh from a day of signing people up for something they cannot afford, yucking it up with his boiler room co-scammers about the "stupid people," as they relax and unwind down at the local bar.
Snip:
The younger Trump showed an aptitude for real estate wheeling and dealing (and an even greater talent for self-promotion) that allowed him to parlay his share of his father’s already successful business into a fortune of several hundred million by the 1980s, but as detailed in a 2005 profile by Timothy O’Brien in the New York Times, Trump had blown through it all by the mid-nineties and was in serious debt. Only 20 million dollars in loans from his rich siblings (each had inherited 35 million from father Fred, who was by then deceased) kept Trump afloat and allowed him to stage a comeback.

Definition of a scam is someone who promises you something for nothing.
A lot of Americans are eager to believe all they have to do is listen to someone tell them they will be rich without any effort on their part.
In a scam, both sides are not exactly the perpetrator and victim in the classic sense of a crime.
I’ve always detested Rubio on a visceral level, and can’t understand why anyone would think positively of him.
