The Huckster?

I was watching John Oliver's show on HBO through my TIVO last night and I was struck by the methods Trump used to swindle students there. One of the many huckster ploys of defrauding students was to tell them that courses cost anywhere between 29 dollars and 35,000 dollars and then demand they pay the $35,000 through high pressure huckster sales techniques. Though I was somewhat surprised at how ruthless and unethical Trump University was actually run, it made more sense in the context of how Trump has run his campaign. Those gullible to hucksters (people who haven't been educated that much) or people who have not been trained in critical thinking, who are desperate for something better in their lives are vulnerable to people like Trump who is a huckster that would make PT Barnum of the Circus proud of how "A sucker is born every minute!"

So, it isn't surprising that the Republican party is trying to figure out how to get rid of Trump because he obviously is going to completely destroy the Republican Party if allowed to be the Nominee. No one will trust the Republican Party ever again if they allow him to be the nominee.

So, for the ongoing credibility of the Republican party at this point they have to find a way to dump Trump. Otherwise, the Republican Party is not going to be respected by anyone on earth ever again who actually functions above a child level and who is capable of critical thinking.

The other interesting quote and also evidence of Trump being a huckster is that he has been sued

35,000 times which has to be a record for any presidential candidate in history too.
