The 11th Republican Presidential Debate 2016 by FOX News [March 3][6PM PST][9PM EST]

I am waiting for Marco and Ted to make it sound like The Don designed all the curriculum at the University.

So The Don may have lent his name to a pretty shitty College that was likely of limited use for people to get a good job. That's just a regular business.

It wasn't like a real college. It was a service. It was supposed to teach real estate "secrets" that helped the Don become a billionaire, but apparently the marketing hyped it to be something that it wasn't. I work with a lot of internet marketers that have their own "universities" aka online courses. Their goal is to provide more value than the consumer expects...or at least provide the value it advertises.
 
Pubio wants to talk about the issues.... if the issue is Trump University. LOL.
 
7:16pm - Trump under pressure over Trump University

Rubio jumps in and attacks Trump on Trump University, which faces fraud accusations and a class action lawsuit. He says the school hired a manager at Buffalo Wild Wings despite Trump’s promise to hire the best.

“You’re willing to say whatever you have to say to get them to give them your money,” Rubio says.

“We have a 98% approval rating, we have an A from the Better Business Bureau and people like it,” Trump says.

Kelly clarifies: “The rating from the BBB was a D- and it was a result of a number of complaints they received.”

“It was elevated to an A,” Trump says. Not on the public record, she sys.

Kelly says “there’s a class action of 5,000 people” who say they were fleeced. Kelly points out that these are “working class” people.

“The lead plaintiff is now getting out of the case because it was so bad for her,” Trump says.

“You counter-sued her,” Kelly said, and you had to pay her legal fees.

Kelly is hammering him on it. She puts up a court document that says, “The victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until they realize that they have been fleeced.”

“Let’s see what happens in court,” Trump says.

Rubio: “I spoke to one of the victims yesterday ... They signed up for this course ... they paid $15,000 ... Then they had to pay even more money ... When they realized what a scam it was,” they asked for a refund and could not get one, he says.

“We will see who’s right at the end of a few years,” Trump says. He says almost all of the people who signed up said it was terrific. “Let’s see what happens at the end of three years.”

Then Trump says the school gave refunds to people.

Rubio: “What he’s trying to do to the American people, what he did to the people who signed up for this course ... he’s trying to con people into giving him their vote, just like he conned people into giving him their money.”

Trump hits back that Rubio is absent from the Senate and the people of Florida “wouldn’t elect him dog catcher”.

Cruz jumps in for the kill: “Let me just ask the voters at home. Is this the debate you want?”

“If we nominate Donald, we’re going to spend the summer and fall with the Republican nominee facing a fraud trial,” Cruz says.

“It’s a minor civil case,” Trump fumes.

Cruz: “You’ve got to learn not to interrupt. Count to ten, Donald. Count to ten.”

They’re back. It’s a question about government neglect and poisonous water in Flint, Michigan, not far from the debate tonight.

Rubio is asked about infrastructure improvement. What can be done?

“What happened in Flint was a terrible thing. It was a systemic breakdown at every level of government.”

Rubio is applauded for saying “the politicizing of it is unfair.” “This should not be a partisan issue... all of us are outraged. .. It is a proper role for the federal government to play at the local level.”


7:27pm

Kasich is asked about Detroit schools,which are in debt and could go bankrupt. Should the government bail out the schools.

Kasich compares the situation to Cleveland, where “schools are coming back because of a major overhaul.”

“Fixing schools rests at the state and local level and particularly at the school board level.”

He could talk forever about this. He’s on to vocational education and vouchers. “We as adults have to fight in our neighborhoods and our communities for our children and their educations.”

“The people of this town are gonna rise and they need to be involved.” Cheers in the hall.

Reminds me of a corny joke my dad told me about the guy who said "Give me money, and I will tell you how to get rich". The guy paid, and the secret was "Do what I do".
 
wow, debating in a city with 11% unemployment and 3rd world quality schools - and they are bringing up gay marriage and cup cakes

priorities
 
Kasich killing it with the gay marriage cake question.

Tough question for Republican debate.
 
Kasich squirming like Megyn Kelly does with her Trump vibrator that's 15".

Yeah, he's basically saying "get over it." Really surprised he's not being ripped on for that.
 
Rubio saying the Michigan governor took responsibility should automatic disqualify him.
 
You care more about a candidate selling a service than you do way, way, way more important issues?

I guess we're just going to have to disagree. There's no way Trump U should have taken up that much space in this debate.
What they say their positions are means nothing.

Trump needs to provide an answer why he thinks its okay to run scams. That will tell me more about his conduct in office than what lie he tells about what he says he will do

That is way to cheerful for this audience. By the way I got a double yellow for saying the new ghost busters will suck. I am not kidding
 
If there is a baker against gay marriage, he just needs to tell the customer... I will make you a great cake, then take every penny you gave me and donate it to such and such anti gay marriage group.

The customer will leave,the problem solves itself.

You can't deny the service in my opinion.
 
Marco Rubio with the classic freshman in high school argument.

"something shouldn't be illegal because criminals will do it anyways!"
