Out for comment.

Note: I used to involved in real estate sales and failed at it. The only person I blame for that is me, a person who could not even successfully sell Girl Scout Cookies back in the early 1960s.

So far Trump lost two of the four. And by one hell of a lot. Looks like Trump may be done. Too powerful of a communists push to dislodge him is working.

Here is something for you to comment on:

Did the people of Texas have the right to know that cruz was a Canadian citizen before electing him the first Canadian to ever be a United States Congressman?

Trump has admitted in depositions that he didn’t pick the instructors as promised in the ads, he didn’t develop the curriculum as promised in the ads, and the seminars had to refund 30% of the participants money.

I find it stunning that you latch on to this trival crap. But don't care one bean when America is sold out to to the globalest the way it was with TPA/Tpp. Your priorities are seriously screwed up.

Typical Trump Chump response: ignore the content and launch attack on an unrelated issue.

Note that Cruz beat Trump handily in the primary a few days ago, knowing all the facts about their Senator.

And, "Congressman" is typically used for a member of the House of Representatives. You do understand the difference between a "congressman" and a "senator", don't you?

Typical cruz supporter, distract and focus on trivial BS while ignoring serious issues such as selling America out to the globalist, and hiding one's citizenship from the voters.

Based on the early returns in Maine and Kansas, Trump will be done tonight and we can all get behind Ted Cruz. This is especially important that we start raising funds for his legal defense fund. As soon as he is nominated, the Democrats are going to sue over his eligibility to be President.

What I don’t know is how many people attended Trump University and/or Trump Entrepreneurship Institute and how many graduates did they have? As I understand it (and I welcome correction here), they have 10,000 surveys that offer them a 98% satisfaction rate.

At the same time, they have class action lawsuits representing 5,000 students.

If they had 1,000,000 graduates and only 5,000 joined in on the class action lawsuit, then the 98% satisfaction rate is not out of line.

But if the 10,000 surveys represent all of the graduates, why are half of them now joining in on the lawsuit? I understand that it is sometimes tempting to join and “grab a piece of the pie”, but I’m wondering what percentage of the graduates this lawsuit actually represents.

As for the $1,500 price tag, that was the “get in the door” price, and you are correct in that it is not an out-of-line price point. To get the full benefit, however, you had to pay upwards of $30,000, and I don’t know if that one is justifiable for what the students received.

I will never vote for that POS. He lied about his citizenship and he lied about the big issues like TPA and the corker bill. We might as well just elect the CFG directly, why settle for the middleman.

What would you expect from a supporter of the guy who thought Mitch McConnell would be a great "Speaker of the Senate"?

You nailed it !

I find it staggering so called conservatives latch on to stuff like this and ignore Benghazi, emails and sex scandals not to mention the planned abolition of America as they are also busy doing to the UK and all European states by mass immigration.

They all seem determined to "throw" another election same as Romney done last time around

Cruz has committed election fraud in caucus states before today. Trump is collecting evidence to take Cruz down over it. That is Gov.Chris Cristie’s job.

The 98% approval rate is a lie, there is no way to substantiate that number, it comes directly from Trump. Believing the 98% is like believing the 99.9% approval rating given to dictators in their elections. However we do know from a disposition that Trump gave in the civil case that his “University” was forced to refund between 25 and 30% of the money that the suckers (I’m sorry I mean customers) paid for the short course.

If a “satin doll” can’t sell real estate....what’s the world coming to!

Back in the 80s two friends and I pitched in and paid for one to go to one of the house flipping seminars. We paid the money, the one guy attended the event and we never did a thing with it.

There’s another reason lots of people will say they’re satisfied. They don’t want to admit they are too lazy to do what they’re told they have to do.

Can people go to these seminars and learn to make money? The answer is “Those who want to work and put in the effort.” The rest are wanting to get rich quick. That was my motivation.

Good post. Yep, Trump will lose a few delegates to Cruz and that’ll be it for Trump.

Oh, calm down! I was only kidding the Cruzadians! ;-) If Trump doesn’t win it out right, he will take any brokered convention away from the loser GOPee easily! Heck, all he has to do is offer the delegates rides on Trump 1, or better yet, rides on his helicopter.

The funny thing about my situation is that I made a deal with the manager of the real estate office that if I didn’t make a sale in 90 days, I would quit. I posted two properties for sale but made no sales, so the manager said good-bye.
