raphael119: I believe thats very true of many of Trumps core supporters. Almost all of them were hard core republicans to begin with though. They just dont want to admit theyre poor due to their own party's actions. Its was easier to blame the gobbermint and conspiracy theories. Now with Trump they have a new revelation about the elite in their own party, a b.s. artist has convinced him that he, with his godlike hair and incredible brains has the answers. Just a few years at Trump University will fix everything!!!!


we always knew who the enemy was, and that has nothing to do with the trumpy, and if any of you guys want to make an impact, start working to secure your interests and stop the global agenda at the local level and quit the cryin... do something to stop the enemy. you're effort may not always be rewarded but than again many times you can drive the global fantasy land agenda away from your area or killing it completely, its up to you whether
you want to stop the madness, "not one single politician or president can do anything "ron paul quote"

In response to: Insiders to Trump: Drop out
'I’d rather take our chances with nearly anyone else than continue with this certain loser who will likely cost the Senate and much more,' said a New Hampshire Republican.
By STEVEN SHEPARD 08/05/16 05:18 AM EDT

Amid widespread chatter that Donald Trump could drop out of the presidential race before Election Day, Republican insiders in key battleground states have a message for The Donald: Get out.

That’s according to The POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, strategists and operatives in 11 swing states. The majority of GOP insiders, 70 percent, said they want Trump to drop out of the race and be replaced by another Republican candidate — with many citing Trump’s drag on Republicans in down-ballot races. But those insiders still think it’s a long-shot Trump would actually end his campaign and be replaced by another GOP candidate.

“I’d rather take our chances with nearly anyone else than continue with this certain loser who will likely cost the Senate and much more,” said a New Hampshire Republican — who, like all respondents, completed the survey anonymously.

“The effect Trump is having on down-ballot races has the potential to be devastating in November,” added a Florida Republican. “His negative image among Hispanics, women and independents is something that could be devastating to Republicans. Trump’s divisive rhetoric to the Hispanic community at large has the potential to be devastating for years to come.”

Trump has given no indication that he’s considering quitting, and his campaign insists his perseverance is one of his best attributes. But two network reports recently suggested senior GOP leaders were eyeing how that process would work, just in case.

A Trump exit from the race after he’s been formally nominated would trigger a rarely used vacancy rule in the national Republican Party’s rulebook. That rule empowers the Republican National Committee — a 168-member panel that includes three GOP leaders from every state and territory — to select a replacement. The RNC is also authorized to reconvene the national convention, which would be all but logistically impossible.

Trump still swears by his University. He didnt resign and it was a total scam from the get go. Bills laureate connection is just an effort to try to save Trump by frauds like Breitbart etc.

Trump’s Next Obsession: Bill Clinton and Laureate Universities
REUTERS/Dominick Reuter
By Rob Garver

June 8, 2016


In his uncharacteristically scripted victory speech Tuesday night, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump signaled that on Monday he will launch an attack on his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, and her husband, former president Bill Clinton. Calling the Clintons “corrupt” and accusing them of “selling government contracts” Trump said his “major speech” would cover “all of the things that have taken place with the Clinton.”

Trump is still reeling from multiple missteps in his handling of the controversy surrounding the now-defunct Trump University, and for that reason his remarks on Monday are likely to touch heavily on a little-known education company called Laureate International Universities, particularly Bill Clinton’s lucrative five-year run as “honorary chancellor” of the string of for-profit schools, a gig that paid him nearly $16.5 million, or about $3.3 million per year.

Laureate International Universities is a subsidiary of Baltimore-based Laureate Education, which itself grew out of Sylvan Learning Centers. Over the past decade and more, Laureate has bought up small private universities around the world and brought them under centralized management.

Backed by a who’s who of well-known investors, including prominent Democratic Party supporter George Soros and top Republican fundraisers Henry Kravis and Steven Cohen, Laureate has 80 different programs under its umbrella in 28 different countries. In addition to private investors, the World Bank’s investment arm has plowed some $150 million into Laureate, praising its ability to turn struggling schools around.


Former president Clinton’s five-year deal with Laureate involved him traveling to at least 19 different campuses to deliver speeches, and also gave Laureate access to programs funded or otherwise backed by the Clinton Global Initiative. The deal, which began in the spring of 2010, was conveniently timed to expire just as Hillary Clinton prepared to officially announce her candidacy for the White House.

The affiliation with Laureate may be embarrassing for the Clintons in several ways. First off, while Bill Clinton was making millions from Laureate, the company was also listed as a sponsor of the Clinton Global Initiative and a donor to the Clinton Foundation, creating at least the impression of Clinton using his non-profit activities as a means of self-enrichment.

Additionally, Bill Clinton’s time as honorary chancellor of Laureate overlapped the final two years of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. In 2012, her final year at State, a non-profit foundation run by Laureate’s founder saw its grants from the federal government, including State, increase by nearly $11 million. This creates the impression, though not the proof, of a quid pro quo arrangement.

Also, Hillary Clinton has been a vocal supporter of the Obama administration’s crackdown on for-profit educational institutions in the U.S., many of which have shockingly low graduation rates and often leave students deeply in debt and without a degree. That creates some awkwardness around the $16.5 million her husband took from what Bloomberg describes as the world’s largest for-profit education company.

It should be noted, however, that Laureate is not generally seen as one of the bad actors in the for-profit education space. The company has definitely been accused of putting profits ahead of students in some cases. But it can also boast that some of its schools are among the most highly-ranked by independent government analysts in their home countries.

As Laureate looks to be dragged into the conversation about Trump University, it’s important to point out that there are some notable differences between the two operations. Most notable is that Laureate operates accredited, degree-granting institutions. A bachelor’s or master’s degree from one of Laureate’s schools is a legitimate academic credential, albeit one whose practical value is tied to the reputation of the particular school granting it. (But this is not unique -- graduates of Princeton and the local state college down the road might both have bachelor’s degrees in economics, but employers and other academic programs will weight them differently.)

The same cannot be said for Trump University, which was not in any real sense an institution of higher learning, and certainly didn’t confer its graduates with an actual degree.

Trump is facing multiple lawsuits from former students of Trump University, which in reality was a business launched a decade ago to sell classes and seminars on real estate investing and financial management, all heavily branded with the Trump name and logo. Documents released last week detail the high-pressure sales tactics the company applied to sometimes vulnerable consumers. Using promises of financial independence and wealth, salespeople were taught to persuade buyers to exhaust their savings and go into debt in order to pay for ever-more-expensive classes.

Trump has obviously been stung by attacks on the business, which cut to the heart of his public image as a smart and successful businessman. Democrats, as well as the attorneys representing the plaintiffs, have used the documents from the trial to paint an alternate picture of him as a greedy fraud, willing to exploit the vulnerable for a profit.

In launching his attack on the Clintons, Trump can be expected to push the idea that Hillary and her supporters are all hypocrites for attacking him while supporting her, simultaneously damaging Clinton and deflecting criticism from himself.

For political rhetoric geeks, the roll-out of Trump’s newest attack on Clinton will be a real-time example of a politician deploying what logicians call the “tu quoque” fallacy -- a rhetorical gambit in which the speaker tries to discredit an attack on himself not by refuting it on the merits, but by implying that the attacker is a hypocrite.

Whether or not Trump will accomplish his aim of creating some sort of equivalence between Laureate International Universities and Trump University remains to be seen. What’s certain, though, is that attempting to tar the Clintons as participants in a shady for-profit educational company won’t do anything to dispel the mounting evidence that Trump University was a giant scam. It will also help drag the 2016 presidential race even deeper into the mud.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laureate International Universities
Laureate International Universities Logo.png
Industry: Higher Education

Founded 1999

Founder Douglas L. Becker

Headquarters Baltimore, MD, U.S.

Area served

Laureate International Universities are the for-profit universities and colleges owned and operated by Laureate Education, of Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States. By 2014, the company owned and operated more than 80 institutions, both campus-based and online, in 30 countries, with total student enrollment of more than 800,000 students.

The company, Laureate Education, was founded by Douglas L. Becker. The company was originally created by Sylvan Learning Systems in 1998 as an operational division to focus on post-secondary institutions and called Sylvan International Universities. When the division was created, Sylvan was a public company primarily focused on educational services for students in primary and secondary education through company owned and franchise locations.

The company’s first investment was Spain’s Universidad Europea de Madrid in 1999, quickly followed by investments in post-secondary institutions in Mexico's Universidad Tecnológica de México (UNITEC), Universidad del Valle de México, Chile's Universidad de las Américas and Switzerland's Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and its first investment in online higher education, Walden University in the United States.

The first acquisition of Laureate Education, Inc., at that time known as Sylvan Learning Systems, Inc., was of 54% of Universidad de Europea de Madrid, which had about 6,000 students, for $51 million in 1999. In 2000 Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Switzerland, Universidad de Las Américas in Chile and Universidad del Valle de México were acquired.

In March 2003, Sylvan Learning Systems decided to focus exclusively on post-secondary education. The company sold the K-12 business units, as well as the Sylvan name and trademark, to a new company, Educate, Inc., formed by Apollo Management. In 2004, Sylvan changed its name to Laureate Education, Inc, to reflect the change in focus.

In 2007, the company was acquired by an investor group led by Douglas Becker and Citigroup Private Equity.

By 2010 the company owned more than 50 institutions, both campus-based and online, in 21 countries, with a total enrollment of about 550,000 students. In 2010, former U.S. President Bill Clinton became the "honorary chancellor" of the network, for an undisclosed compensation.

In January 2013, the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, made a $150 million equity investment in Laureate to expand access to quality higher education in emerging markets.

Coursera, a provider of massive online open courses, announced in July 2013 that it raised $43 million in investments from a group that included Laureate Education, Inc., the World Bank’s investment arm, LearnCapital Venture Partners, GSV Capital and venture capitalist Yuri Milner.

Arizona-based Thunderbird School of Global Management announced a partnership with Laureate in March 2013 to set up a joint venture that will provide capital support to Thunderbird to open multiple international instruction sites and expand its executive education and online programs.

In December 2013, Laureate announced that its shareholders elected three independent directors: Robert B. Zoellick, former World Bank president; Judith Rodin, president of the Rockefeller Foundation; and George Muñoz, principal of the Muñoz Investment Banking Group.

In 2015, Laureate filed an Initial Public Offering.

Relationship with Bill Clinton
Though former United States President Bill Clinton's role as a chancellor of Laureate was officially described as "honorary", from 2010 until early 2015, Bill Clinton was paid just short of $16.5 million for his role as honorary chancellor, including $2.5 million in 2011. These numbers were disclosed in his publicly released tax returns.

In April 2015, Clinton ended his ties with Laureate amidst ongoing financial problems at four of its six U.S.-based universities.

Clinton appeared at the Laureate Summit on Youth & Jobs at Universidad Europea de Madrid in 2013, Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas in 2013, Université Internationale de Casablanca in 2013, European University Cyprus in 2012, Universidad del Valle de México in 2012, Walden University’s 2011 commencement ceremony, Istanbul Bilgi University in 2010 and INTI International University in 2010.


Programs
Universities in the group teach various subjects at both undergraduate and graduate level. Subjects covered by some of its colleges include design, business, culinary and hospitality.

Operations
According to the Washington Post, "Laureate is backed by several of the biggest names in finance, including Henry Kravis, George Soros, Steve Cohen and Paul Allen". Laureate’s annual revenue is approximately $4 billion. The company holds $3.5 billion to $4.7 billion in debt.

Laureate spends in excess of $200 million per year on advertising, including television commercials, online campaigns and billboards. There have been claims that "Laureate boosts revenue at struggling colleges by turbocharging enrollment, often without a parallel increase in academic investment."

The Sylvan/Laureate Foundation was created in 1997 as a non-profit foundation to provide education, training and community support.

Students from many of the network institutions have participated in the Clinton Global Initiative University, including students from Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, Universidade Potiguar, INTI International College, INTI International University, Universidad del Valle de México, Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, Universidad Europea de Madrid, Istanbul Bilgi University, Stamford International University, Walden University, Université Internationale de Casablanca, National Hispanic University, and Universidade Salvador

i know why you post these articles.

many of us have moved off the reservation,
while you;re still hooked into the left right paradigm.

your not helping anyone by repeating to the low information
voter the establishment script that is allowed to be parroted
over and over. in other words you have been programmed to promote
the technocratic oligarchs, never getting past what the lame
stream media promotes.

i dare you to go after george soros and his funding of media matters to create endless chaos, or all of the neocons R's and D's
((same club))who are in the pockets of the criminal class. it would be refreshing to see you raise the bar and look at the bigger picture with the same vengeance.

and by the way i have been audited and any tax attorney or CPA will
instruct you not to divulge any information while under audit. and
more than likely since the establishment is doing this to the trumpy because he's not part of their little global suck america dry gravy train club. Have a great day.

Sista Callie,

THANKS for all the clarifications. But you see, dozens and dozens of media corporations support Hillary, The owner of Politico, the article on TRUMP TO DROP OUT is to destabilize him and his supporters. Robert Allbritton, the owner, contributed to Clinton's Foundation and the Fiscal Times and the Washington Post belong all to one umbrella even if they have different owners. As you know, even before Trump won the primaries, they have already started attacking and hammering him. They have to do the maximum now. The New York Times commissioned a battalion of writers to dig dirt on Trump. Their articles on his girlfriends were not effective & became controversial because they fabricated lies. These writers have to collaborate and write a devastating book about him before election. Let's wait and see.

The Laureate scandal is nothing if you compare to the Clinton Foundation. But the press and the mainstream media have been silenced to release damaging news about Hillary. They don't talk about the latest death of a journalist writer Victor Thorn who wrote many anti Clinton books and Shawn Lucas an anti Hillary lawyer who both died early this month. There are more than 90 people who strangely died before they talk or expose anything when they are called to witness. You can check on this. So, the murder squad to protect Hillary may be efficient. And the CLINTON BODY COUNT WILL INCREASE. "Hillary's America" is not a conspiracy book, now a movie and CLINTON CASH is a good documentary. Will the New York Times be able to publish a devastating book about Trump. This will make the media crazy!

I think it would be a miracle if Trump will be elected with almost majority of the media against him. I wonder how he can win this political machine whose aim is to eliminate him (not physically yet)! But I believe there are still good people who appreciate a patriot like him! I believe in people power and in miracles! So Trump will stay!

JoyCrest: Thanks Purr,

I don't hate Hillary, in fact, I admire her courage and she is smart,

and intelligent, everything. But all those books and facts and videos

are discredited as conspiracies. All these writers are fools! There

must be some grain of truth! Perhaps she will change! I hate the sins,

not the sinner. Trump is not a saint, but he did not kill anyone, he

does not have a murder squad!




Hello Joy

Could you please tell me the name of Hillary's murder squad and where they can be found.
