Trump University victims speak out in political ads

Pointing out hypocrisies in his message like bringing back jobs given by a candidate running for the highest office in the land is not slinging mud. It's the process of vetting.

Trump has several product lines and those products are made in Mexico, Haiti, China and other places.
Trump hires foreigners on visas over Americans at his golf clubs, resorts and private clubs.
Donald Trump Sells Chinese Goods Despite Accusing China of Stealing US Jobs - ABC News

He IS everything he claims is wrong with our country!

A jive time nickel dime phony. Informing voters of these discrepancies IS the job of the media.

I've said it before and I've said it again. Trump's job as CEO is to make as much money as possible. If we have bad trade deals that allow foreign countries then we should fix them. And if China is manipulating their money markets to do so then at least Trump has enough experience to acknowledge it and say he's gonna do something about it.
 
Yes there are establishment types going after him but there are also anti-establishment types as well. Look 70% of those who associate with the Republican party do not want this man as their candidate. And in a head to head with Clinton shows he is the weakest link. Not to mention the graveyard of skeletons this guy has got in his closet.
Everyone with half a brain knows Trump loses in November. So, yeah...I'm sure they are running scared. But, the problem is, that the 70% not voting for Donald are split between Rubio, Cruz, Carson and Kasich.

But, even if all but one drop out of the race, Donald still holds pretty strong.

:lamo:lamo Trump is selling snake oil.

Trump says he is going to do a lot of things with very little detail in how he will achieve them. From what you just stated he may be good as an advisor on trade but nothing more.

And if he wants to be president then his business ventures need to be scrutinized just as every politicians' voting record. To not vet this man would be a travesty.

As others and myself have mentioned, there's a lot of skeletons in his closet. Let's get them out now!

And Hillary Clinton along with Bernie Sanders vowed to make college "FREE" by making the rich pay for it. The vast majority of politicians are full of ****.
 
This is just one of a whole raft of Trump skeletons that are itching to burst forth upon the scene. How about all those New York City rent controlled buildings that suddenly burst into flames in the 80s only to be replaced by a new Trump development? Want to bet that some arsonist is willing to come out and finger Trump for that? God only knows what else is going to come out between now and November.

Yes and trying to figure out what is true and what is made up BS will be the trick.
 
:lamo:lamo Trump is selling snake oil.

Trump scams people out of their money while Clinton is an extortionist. What a choice!

Let's see how strong he holds after this weekend because Cruz and Rubio are going after him full throttle. Kasich is being pressured to get out of the race as is Carson. Kasich is trailing Trump in Ohio and Cruz is right on Kasich's tail. The writing on the wall is Kasich nor Rubio will not even win their own states. It looks like Cruz is going to win his home state Texas. Jeb Bush did the honorable thing and dropped out. The less choices the 70% who do not want Trump have the quicker they will come together for another candidate that will take down Trump.

IMO what will be interesting if Trump wins the GOP nom is what the far right base of the GOP will do when during the general election he moves to the center.

And you know Trump will. 1) because most of his life his views have been pretty moderate anyway and 2) say what we want about him, but he's not stupid, nor a pushover. Romney knew he should have moved to the center during the GE too, but he was spineless and bent over for the advisers and the GOP far right base who were telling him to move to the right, and stay there, which of course turned off the moderate voter, and probably lost the GOP the election in 2012. But Trump knows he needs the moderate voter, and no one is going to tell him otherwise, so I doubt he'll stay to the right during the GE. He'll move to the center, especially on social and foreign policy issues.

It's going to be fun watching the far right stamp their feet and throw a tantrum when they don't get their own way this GE, if Trump is the nominee.
 
I've never heard him say that.

really? you have never heard trump criticize employers for moving jobs to places like vietnam and china and mexico, where they have access to lower wage rate labor
apparently you need to catch up on some reading; here you go:
Donald Trump on Free Trade

can't comment about hillary as she changes her positions daily
but you have VERY much misrepresented Bernie's proposal
he is not saying he will make college *FREE*
he has said that those students who can get into a state university/college will have *FREE* tuition
notice he said nothing about private colleges/universities having free tuition
he said nothing about covering any student living expenses or books or assundry costs of going to school
he limited his position to *FREE* tuition to state university/college
imagine how that will raise the competition of students seeking to get a college education in public universities/colleges
hopefully, only the best and brightest will get in. many of them superior students who would not have otherwise been able to afford to attend
 
I don't put any stock in the lawsuits. Especially not in handholding babysit everyone "New York". Wahh, wahh, it's called a "University" but it's not actually a "university". There's a place in Reno called "Ben's Fine Wines and Spirits" but it's just a liquor store. Should I sue the owner?

Maybe not, but should you vote for the owner to be President?

Of course, but exporting jobs isn't the subject of the discussion. Using illegal aliens is. I've never heard him say that businesses shouldn't employ illegal aliens.

So your "defense" of Trump is that he never said a business should not commit crimes? :lamo

here is your post that began this line of discussion
He is a CEO. It is not only his motivation but his responsibility to do whatever is legally available to maximize profits. His job is not to pay more for services if paying less will get the job done satisfactorily. Business has always been this way.
to which i responded this is not what he says in his campaign speeches (railing against the exportation of jobs)
to which you insisted you had not heard him make that presentation
to which i responded with a cite showing trump to be opposed to the very policies that sent work to low wage environments
to which you now seek to move the goal posts

Sanders and Hillary are just saying they're going to hide the costs of college from the users. Unless I'm mistaken, Universities will still have administrators, executive teams, and faculty. He's so far said nothing about...

Actually making degrees easier to get by forcing schools to modernize their curriculum via video feeds so that working people can get degrees. He's said nothing about actually lowering the inflating cost of schools. He's said nothing about the college book industry, while niche, is such an obvious scam. It's all smoke and mirrors.

how is advocating the availability of FREE tuition at public universities and colleges saying "nothing about actually lowering the inflating cost of schools"?
 
isnt this the one where they claim Trump defrauded them because they thought "Trump University" was an actual brick and mortar university and not just an bunch of online courses? that was making the rounds a few years ago

wonder which party is behind the ads

At this point, my guess would be a Republican. But it's a coin-toss.

Read the first sentence of the post. Hiding the cost from users. The schools will still have costs. None of that is addressed by Hillary or Bernie.

They're talking about public universities. Their spending is set by the govt, which is why their cost is relatively low compared to private universities.
