rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18774 | How many Benghazi hearings did they finally get up to with Hillary -- 8,9? Trumps under the national spotlight just like Hillary. He'll be scrutinized down to his last hair follicle. I'd never say he's not smart, but he easily makes the mistake some smart people make. Thinking they're too smart for anyone to catch them at any hijinks. Sounds more and more like he has more baggage than a luggage factory. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

If it were found that he's been molesting little boys, trafficking sex slaves, and stealing money from charities, his supporters would redouble their devotion to him.
He's smart in one of the worst possible ways: he's really good at manipulating people who can help him. In other words, he's a parasite. And at the risk of another suspension, anyone who supports giving Trump any responsibilities past his own affairs is an effing moron. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

This article is the most detailed, in-depth one I could find on Trump University. I admit it's from a liberal source, but if you're looking for a right-wing critique, this other article is good too. The students were all just marks, and the "professors" followed a phoney script ("I had dinner with Mr. Trump last night"). The professors were compensated based upon how many upsells to the $35,000 Gold Elite package they sold. |

TheCesspit Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 1929 | Clearly Trump won't settle, as he believes legalling court hoops will make it all go away. Settling makes him look weak, and a scammer. The Trump 'University' has every single hallmark of a real estate 'scam'. It's the same as 101 other one's you can see everyday online. As only 3 people have come forward happy with the results, it's clearly either a terrible product, or a really good product for extracting money from the gullible. Much like many of Trump's products. But the alpha-male lovers will sit there and tell us how wonderful he is for taking charge and looking like a commander. It's all a sales act, folks, all a sales act. All his headline policies are things he knows he can't deliver, and are just talking points. If most other candidates made such claims, they'd be laughed right out of the building by the right-wing commentators. But it's TRUMP. He's an alpha male. He can't be selling us a pig-in-a-poke. Except, that's what he does. He upsells, often a decent product as a luxury one, but sometimes a pile of tat as a great product.

I think "alpha male" is code. Come on. The man is an effete cry-baby and bully. You'd have to be high, drunk and brain damaged in order to think he's an alpha anything. So I see two choices: 1) A lot of people regard bullying as the be-all, end-all "alpha male" quality or 2) "alpha male" is code for white American supremacy. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Did you watch any of the debates? Trump's a great actor, and the character he plays is Mr. Tough Guy. Standing on the same stage as Trump, the other candidates (especially Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham) came across as nerdy policy wonks boring us with their tax plans. It's true that Trump is EXTREMELY thin-skinned, in fact his thin skin would be downright dangerous if he made it to the White House. But most bullies are insecure & weak under the Tough Guy facade. |

I try not to. But it's hard to miss them completely. The best summary for the GOP debates is to quote from Futurama's "Anthology of Interest I": "You cannot unwatch it!" Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I guess that makes me a bit ignorant, I will just have to learn to live with it? That is just frightening. It reminds me of kids telling each other horror stories at campouts, to scare each other into staying awake. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
