Think it’s strange that Trump has THREATENED to open up libel laws, and created a hornet’s nest?
“I’m gonna open up our libel laws, so when they write purposely negative and horrible, false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money”
NYT:
Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz assailed Donald J. Trump in the presidential debate on Thursday for his involvement in Trump University, a defunct educational company that triggered a massive fraud suit against Mr. Trump.
Now, voters are about to learn more about Trump University in television commercials.
The American Future Fund, a conservative nonprofit group, is preparing what a spokesman said is a multimillion-dollar ad campaign highlighting people who say they were ripped off by Mr. Trump’s enterprise. The ads feature two men and one woman who describe themselves as having been lured into paying tens of thousands of dollars for business coaching that led nowhere.
The message of the ads appears to serve a dual purpose: to undercut Mr. Trump’s credentials as a businessman, and raise questions in voters’ minds about his honesty and trustworthiness.
One man featured in the ads, a retiree named Bob, says he was “scammed because I believed in Donald Trump.”
“Please don’t fall for the same line that I fell for,” he says, adding of Mr. Trump, “He can make people believe, practically, anything.”
Newsmax:
Six years ago, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who was then the state’s attorney general, blocked Donald Trump’s Trump University from operating in the state and investigated it for claims of “deceptive trade practices.”
Abbot’s office, through Assistant Attorney General Rick Berlin, began the probe over Trump’s now-defunct university, which was a real-estate training package, but did not award accredited degrees in January 2010, according to American Media Institute, to determine if the organization violated Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Protection Act. The action from Abbott’s office came two years after GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz wrapped up his term as the state’s Solicitor General, a position he held from 2003 to 2008 after Abbott appointed him to the spot

Meet Sherri, a single mom and a victim of Trump University.
My name is Sherri, and I’m a single mom. Based on the fact that it was Donald Trump, I signed up… I made a huge mistake, trusting him. I paid thirty-five thousand, actually more than thirty five thousand. It was all supposedly supervised by Donald Trump, run by Donald Trump. All of it was just a fake. America, do not make the same mistake that I did with Donald Trump. I got hurt badly, and I’d hate to see this country get hurt by Donald Trump.
ANY QUESTIONS OUT THERE?
We need this kind of stuff against China, Russia, and ISIS, NOT AGAINST AMERICANS.
- Hey, Karl, Can You Hear Me Now?
Over and over, Karl Rove and his various mouthpieces have declared: "Donald Trump will not be the nominee." Back in October, I tried to tell one of the inner circle (an individual whom I will not, at this point, name): "If you don't get out in front...

It wouldn't be a bad choice. Kasich can deliver Ohio. We saw that. And he has one every single election he ran for. Is Trump warming to Kasich as his running mate after the last debate? If Donald Trump manages to win the...
