The Recent Republican Fake 'Outrage' Over Trump's Racism is an Absolute Joke
"So, Republicans can try to sell this bullsh*t that his comments don’t represent the values of the party, but you’d have to be an absolute fool to buy it. Donald Trump is exactly what the modern-day Republican party is. That’s exactly why he clinched the GOP presidential nomination without hardly breaking a sweat."

The GOP’s Women Problem: Report Shows the Party of Trump Is Struggling to Elect Women to Congress @alternet
The GOP’s Women Problem: Report Shows the Party of Trump Is Struggling to Elect Women to Congress @alternet:
"An unapologetic misogynist has hijacked the Republican Party. Donald Trump is unlikely to win a general election, but he’s immensely popular among Republican primary voters. And he’s managed to preserve his popularity despite insulting women repeatedly. Attributing a reporter’s question to her menstrual cycle is the most egregious offense, but there are countless others. Women have noticed, too. According a recent Gallup poll, 70 percent of women have an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump, compared to 58 percent of men. This is the largest gender gap we’ve seen for a presidential candidate, and it’s likely to grow as more women start paying attention. Indeed, in July of last year only 58 percent of women had an unfavorable opinion of Trump. Although Trump is viewed negatively by men in general, his favorability ratings remain high among Republican men. 61 percent of Republican men view him favorably, with only 36 percent reporting negative feelings. Republican women are more split on Trump (49 percent favorable, 46 percent unfavorable), which is instructive but not very conclusive. Unsurprisingly, Democratic voters – both men and women – are united in their disdain for Trump (84 percent of men and 89 percent of women view him unfavorably). It’s tempting to think of Trump as an outlier, as some foreign pathogen infecting the Republican Party. But that’s not the case. His chauvinism finds a happy audience among conservatives."

But his track record shows once again that Trump is a really rich guy (though probably not actually a billionaire) who didn’t think twice of stepping on the little guy so he could get what he wants. In some cases, the Trump teams financially overpower and outlast much smaller opponents, draining their resources. You can’t make America “great again” if you’re hurting it now."

Republican convention set to break a record—for whiteness

"When scanning the faces at a Donald Trump rally, “diversity” is not the first word that comes to mind. The same is true of the GOP in general. Despite making noise about outreach, the party continues to run on policies that aren’t simply nationalist, aren’t merely anti-immigrant, but are deliberately meant to harm people of color. The problem goes way beyond calling judges Mexican or threatening Muslims. The 14 delegates at the 1964 convention were just 1 percent of the total, the lowest ever. If the numbers for the 2016 convention hold, the 18 African Americans in Cleveland will be just 0.7 percent of the total delegates. It’s not as if the Republican Party had made great progress at building bridges to the minority community in the period between 1964 and 2016, but one thing is clear: They’ve burned those bridges, and they plan to party on the ashes."

It's All a Con: Trump's Presidential Campaign Is as Big a Scam as Trump University @alternet:
"Donald has always been a showman and a shameless self-promoter, and now scam-artist can be added to his resume. Even though the celebrity billionaire was born on third base and has enough money to live luxuriously many lifetimes over, he still couldn’t help scamming people for some extra cash (or was it simply a vanity project?). This says a lot about what kind of person he is—unethical at best, criminal at worst. Of course, his political strategy has been a lot like his business strategy, and the huckster is now trying to pull off the biggest con of them all: getting America to elect him president. Over the past year, Trump has been a entertainer, grabbing all of the headlines with his petty feuds and unpredictability; a brash self-promoter, boasting about everything from his net worth to his penis; and a charlatan, promising the world to his supporters while offering almost no substantive plans on how to accomplish any of it. The policies that the Trump campaign has put forward are shockingly impractical and dangerous—from his proposal to deport 11 million people (which would cost hundreds of billions of dollars) to his tax plan, which would add an estimated $10 trillion to the debt over the next decade. Most economists agree that if Trump accomplished his most notable policies—mass deportations, getting into aggressive trade wars, slashing taxes for the wealthiest—he would quickly send the economy spiraling into another recession. Meanwhile, the billionaire has made erroneous claim after erroneous claim, all to fire up uninformed Americans and stir up resentment (one can never be sure whether Trump is ignorant himself or he is simply lying because he knows he can get away with it)."

Republicans have long had a broad acceptance for con artists and frauds using conservative rhetoric and channels to defraud people out of their hard-earned money.

Trump University: Just Another Conservative Fraud
Trump University: Just Another Conservative Fraud:
"Across the conservative media, scams targeting vulnerable populations are commonplace. RedState.com once told its email list that in 1985 Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with three forms of cancer and was cured not by “chemo” or “radiation,” but a “secret” and “CENSORED” treatment that they would reveal. WND, Dick Morris, Newsmax and Glenn Beck have sent similar emails. Newt Gingrich, Fox Business, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Alex Jones, WND and The Washington Times all promoted Stansberry & Associates, an investment firm that targeted conservative customers and was “fined $1.5 million for engaging in ‘deliberate fraud’ and profiting from ‘false statements.’ ” Potential Trump vice presidential pick Newt Gingrich has claimed in emails that "cancer was cured back in 1925," "the annual flu shot is nothing more than a BALD-FACED SCAM,” "Illuminati was behind every consequential wealth event of [2013]," and an “insider near Washington D.C. has just blown the lid off the 7 Deadly Drugs the U.S. Government can't wait for you to swallow." On his email list, Mike Huckabee has marketed, “a medical quack claiming Alzheimer's disease cures; a for-sale stock pundit that was fired from Fox; a financial firm that was fined by the government for engaging in ‘deliberate fraud’; and a survival food company that profits off of readers' fears of being ‘herded into FEMA camps.’” Ben Carson, the former presidential candidate tapped by Trump to lead his vice presidential search, “shilled for a quack-cures company that used misleading advertisements to promote its products to people with cancer, HIV, ALS and autism” and paid $7 million as part of a false marketing settlement. With the Right’s track record, the presumptive GOP nominee should be touting the fraudulent activity of Trump University as another example of his conservative credentials."

Secret Trump University Papers Reveal How Business Pumped ‘Students’ For Cash
http://addictinginfo.org/2016/05/31/secret-trump-university-papers-reveal-how-business-pumped-students-for-cash/
"The documents show how, rather than a real estate sales course, the Trump University system was designed to push people to pay for ever-increasing levels which they were told would lead to more and more lucrative business. In fact, as the lawsuits show, many were very unsatisfied with the experience. Even more damning is the fact that the business doesn’t even exist anymore, but is just another scheme that Trump slapped his name on in order to make a quick buck then ran away when it got complicated. Trump was apparently so concerned about the information in the sales documents coming out that he rescheduled the press conference he had to address his failure to give money to veterans groups to the same day the Trump University documents came out."

New Information From Texas AG Proves "Trump University" Was a Fraudulent Scam
"To summarize: Trump University was pushed out of Texas after the state’s attorney general’s office opened up a deceptive practices investigation and found that, not only was the advice they were giving illegal, but they were selling people goals that were “virtually impossible to achieve.” That’s called a scam. It’s nothing more than a bunch of con men luring people in under the guise of “getting an education,” asking for thousands of dollars in exchange for advice that was illegal and unrealistic."

Ex-Texas Official Says He Was Ordered To Drop Trump U Probe Due To Politics
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-regulator-says-ordered-drop-fraud-investigation-trump-university-over-politics
"Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton moved Friday to muzzle a former state regulator who says he was ordered in 2010 to drop a fraud investigation into Trump University for political reasons. Paxton's office issued a cease and desist letter to former Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens after he made public copies of a 14-page internal summary of the state's case against Donald Trump for scamming millions from students of his now-defunct real estate seminar. Owens, now retired, said his team had built a solid case against the now-presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but was told to drop it after Trump's company agreed to cease operations in Texas. The former state regulator told The Associated Press on Friday that decision was highly unusual and left the bilked students on their own to attempt to recover their tuition money from the celebrity businessman. According to the documents provided by Owens, his team sought to sue Trump, his company and several business associates to help recover more than $2.6 million students spent on seminars and materials, plus another $2.8 million in penalties and fees. Owens said he was so surprised at the order to stand down he made a copy of the case file and took it home. "It had to be political in my mind because Donald Trump was treated differently than any other similarly situated scam artist in the 16 years I was at the consumer protection office," said Owens, who lives in Houston. Owens' boss at the time was then-Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is now the state's GOP governor. The Associated Press first reported Thursday that Trump gave donations totaling $35,000 to Abbott's gubernatorial campaign three years after his office closed the Trump U case. Several Texas media outlets then reported Owens' accusation that the probe was dropped for political reasons."

And Trump audaciously promises that if he is elected, this is how it’s going to be: “If you think I’m going to change, I’m not changing.” Ugh. One Erdogan on the world stage is enough."

"Considering his willingness to snatch up public funds designated for those less fortunate, it’s a tad ironic that Trump is so unwilling to pay his fair taxes. The Republican frontrunner has repeatedly said his tax rate is none of the public’s business, noting he fights “very hard to pay as little tax as possible.” And a USA Today analysis published Thursday found Trump’s businesses are currently engaged in over 100 lawsuits over unpaid taxes and tax-related disputes."

How Trump scammed students and blames those who hold him accountable
How Trump scammed students and blames those who hold him accountable
"So what exactly does Trump think constitutes as a “total disgrace?” It might be the fact that his so-called “university” scammed students out of as much as $35,000 for an unaccredited “education.” Of course unsealing the documents shines yet another negative light on the Republican nominee and his careless disregard for anyone or anything other than himself and his pocketbook. In fact, Trump is currently facing three separate lawsuits that allege that his shady business defrauded students and broke state laws. The unsealed documents have already revealed some of the empty promises that Trump made to students, including a one-page personal message he sent to new enrollees."

"Nearly 400 pages of documents were unsealed by a federal judge Tuesday after a lawsuit was filed alleging that the institute scammed thousands of people who enrolled in a program by giving the impression it was an accredited academic institution. The documents include "playbooks" regarding running the enterprise and how to sell programs to customers. The playbook reportedly guides employees to assign ranks to potential students based on “who has the most and least liquid assets.” The courses at the university started at $1,495, with the most expensive option, known as gold elite, costing $34,995, the Time reported."
