Trump: US needs president with Ivy League 'mindset'
The Hill ^ | 08/13/2015 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 08/13/2015 10:22:14 AM PDT by GIdget2004

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the nation needs a president with an Ivy League education.

“I went to an Ivy League school,” he said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” “I was an excellent student at the Wharton School of Finance, which is the best in the world, one of the hardest to get into in the world, maybe the hardest, but maybe one of the hardest to get into, even back then.”

“That’s the kind of thinking our country needs, that mindset,” Trump added. “The fact is, that’s the kind of mindset or thinking we need to beat China on trade. They’re killing us.”

There is not one bit of truth in what you said. You are wishfully dreaming. Trump is not someone you can walk all over. He will not stand for it. The other candidates are sissies compared to Trump.

Certainly the rest of the Republicans are shades of the establishment and there is no sense in believing in them because with the last two elections they screwed the electorate into the ground.

There is no downside in voting for Trump.

HH prior to this interview was absolutely anti Trump and did not hide it. In this interview he was soooooo nice. I think he did not want a disaster like Megyn Kelly since HH is doing the next debate.

I was simply amazed at how nice and polite Hewitt was.

The Ivy League mindset is exactly what needs to be demolished.

Just about everything wrong with this country is rooted in the New England cesspool.

There’s a reason Ted Cruz headed to Princeton and Harvard Law School and it wasn’t to become one of them. You’re painting with an awful broad brush.

The you’re going to tire of Trump soon!

Trump favors confiscatory taxes on the incomes of those that are not yet wealthy enough to escape the taxable income vortex.

Thankfully, it won’t be Trump, as he is absolutely unelectable.

Outside of his fools club, he goes down 3:1 or more.

You’re onto something!

Were we not, who would support Trump?

Intelligent people do not vote for liberal Democrat stalking horses for Hillery.

There is no upside to Trump!

Liberal Democrat to his core.

Business swindler, retirement account destroyer, spender of other peoples money.

When his ventures go bankrupt, he walks away with his own funds intact, every time.

Obviously you do not listen to what he says.

Read the articles here.

Several of them make the point that he has voiced support for high taxes for high income earners.

“I’ve got mine, too bad for you!”

All of the liberal Billionaires club sees it that way.

None of what you have said is true.

And right now there is no upside to any Republican.

We have nothing to lose.

“The Ivy League mindset is exactly what needs to be demolished.”

The Ivy League schools were founded as Christian schools but were all eventually hijacked by the left.

Still some great Ivy League minds out there. Cruz and Sowell come to mind.
