So What About 'Trump University'

The article itself is trivial. The “Trump University” thing is a problem on many levels. But even more importantly, it is minor compared to so much other stuff regarding Trump. It’s like saying, “People say the titanic had bad plumbing, but I can show that it was really not that bad.”

And yet all you have to talk about is Trump University. Not a word about cruz hiding his true citizenship from Texas voters when he ran to be Americas first Canadian United States Senator. And no discussing how cruz sold out on TPA and the corker bill. Those deceived Texans did not want cruz to push TPA through Congress, or to vote for the corker bill. But cruz did anyway because that is what the people who paid for his senatorial campaign wanted him to do. Spin that anyway you want, but those are the facts.

if he refunded the money then where are the damages? there are none

Who is “you”?

My biggest concern with Trump is his personal style is likely to cause WWIII.

Hey, I loved the guy at first because I thought his bringing up stuff in the discussion that was normally poison was a great way to get it out there where other candidates were able to then address it. He was kinda like a “super Rush Limbaugh”.

I was shocked, and still am, that thinking conservaltives actually support him for president. His record is out there for everyone to read. He’s good at being a loud mouthpiece about things we need to be addressing, but he’d be a terrible president. And maybe WORSE than lousy.

Right, because "thinking conservatives" would obviously support the candidate that lies about his citizenship status to get elected to the Senator. Or votes for TPA, not based on what his constituents want, but based on what his campaign finances demand. And of course "thinking conservatives" would always support legislation that transfers congressional powers to the executive branch like the corker bill does. Let's just be honest here, you should be avoiding the middleman and just elect goldman sachs directly.

I’m not talking about other candidates. I’m talking about Trump. He is “The Strong Man” in The Road to Serfdom.

Read it. Look at his record.

[JoSixChip]

Read it. Look at his record.

What record, that he is one of the most successful businessmen in human history. That he as successfully build huge projects all over the world. That he has provided jobs and careers for thousands and thousands of people. Exactly what record are you talking about? And what about cruz, when has he ever done anything but lived off of tax dollars and his wife's goldman sachs payoffs?

Look past the Hype.

Not only have I been reading since he decided to run, but I WAS THERE. You can’t revise the history to someone who was there.

I have no clue what your point is, other then you're just an idiot.

Ad-hom from a Trump supporter. Who woulda thunk it?

Our young people are spending over a hundred thousand on a degree at our universities with nothing to show for it. Now that’s what I call a con job. Seminar courses are just that.

Learn how to write a coherent sentence that actually communicates something other then gibberish, then get back to me. Otherwise stop bothering me, I'm actually having a conversation with adults on another thread.

Still with the ad-hominem

Here is a vanity of mine from a while ago, and also gives you a perspective on my attitude about all of this:

I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone who gives a crap what you think. I don't.

Thanks for the link. That is the exact reason why I asked my question (How many graduates of TU are there), because there are a certain number of malcontents in any sufficiently large group. If there were 1,000,000 graduates and only 5,000 complained, then the 98% number is not terribly out of line. However, since they only have 10,000 of these reviews and 5,000 folks who have joined in a lawsuit against TU, I have to wonder what the percentage of actual “satisfied customers” is.

Do you have any idea how many graduates of TU there are? I can’t find the answer and hoped someone here would shed some light on the question.

Man, I feel like I’m arguing on a liberal site. This is truly amazing. It is a reflection of our times and our culture’s desperation. Under such circumstances it never goes well.

For me, my faith is in the Lord, not human leaders. YMMV.

You people are unbelievable, you sit here squabbling about meaningless things like a Trump University law suit. Completely oblivious to the fact that the GOPe is selling out America with things like TPA and the corker bill with the full cooperation of people like cruz. God is not going to save you from your own stupidity, you're supposed to do that on your own.

I think you mean to post that to someone else. I’m not squabbling about that. It is a very small thing. It’s one of a LOT of small things, but it’s certainly not a big issue to me.

And you are right about the GOPe. It’s why the ONLY candidate I will vote for is Cruz. For me, it’s Cruz or lose.

And what is the “stupidity” attack? Why the ad-hominem? Shouldn’t we be above ad-hominem on FR?

If you think someone is stupid, present evidence that demonstrates it. Don’t just call people names. That, my friend, is stupid behavior. We are above that on FR.

Then you lose ether way, cruz is GOPe. Why do you think he supported TPA and voted for the corker bill? And why do you think GOPe groups like goldman sachs, CFG and the chamber of commerce are funding his PACs? These are not positions his constituents supported, they were what the uniparty wanted. Wake-up man, cruz has shown you who he is, you are just not paying attention.
