On the Newark campus of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, chartered as Queen's College in 1766 and the eighth oldest university
of the United States, Hillary Clinton could not have been on terra more
firma to address the fraud and travesty that Donald Trump's bogus and
now defunct 'university' was. Onstage with longtime supporter and
Jersey Boy Jon Bon Jovi and NJ Senator Cory Booker, himself something of a rock star, Hillary outlined the implications of Trump's
business model for the nation as a whole should he be elected.

debuted a new attack line against Donald Trump at a Wednesday campaign
stop in Newark, N.J., saying the real estate mogul scammed hard-working
Americans and is a “fraud.”
Clinton, the likely Democratic
nominee, took aim at Trump University. Documents released Tuesday as
part of an ongoing court case highlighted Trump University’s marketing strategy, which critics like Clinton labeled as manipulative.
“Trump
U was a fraudulent scheme where Donald Trump enriched himself at the
expense of hard-working people,” Clinton told her supporters in New
Jersey. “Trump and his employees took advantage of vulnerable Americans,
encouraging them to max out their credit cards, empty their retirement
savings, destroy their financial futures — all while making promises
they knew were false from the beginning.”
Clinton
deployed stronger language Wednesday than she recently had against
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. She accused him of trying to
“scam” America again with his campaign. “This is just more evidence that
Donald Trump himself is a fraud,” she said.
Olivia Nuzzi is doing a great job of chasing the Trump stories. Here
is her latest. Enough to make the hardest heart fighting mad ... or
should be. Just disgusting!
For
a Donald Trump fan who wanted to learn how to strike it rich in real
estate, no cash was no problem, according to newly published ‘playbooks’
used by Trump staff for sales pitches.
On the same day we learned Donald Trump misled the public
about what he claimed was a $6 million donation to veterans’ charities,
we learned that Trump University tried to scam single mothers out of
their savings while urging other prospective students to finance their
faux education with credit cards.
I wasn't going to mention it, but what the heck. What were the chances
that of the last 3 parties in the race, one would be the owner/CEO of a
failed, phony university and another would be married to the former
president of a failed college? Oh, and a third would have a daughter
teaching at an Ivy League school? What were the chances?

Remarks
Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State
Washington, DC
October 8, 2009
MR. O’BRIEN:
Folks, as you may know, I’ve been involved in a bit of a squabble with
the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker. (Cheering.) Yeah, it all
started last week when I told a joke about Newark. He took offense to
the joke and he banned me from Newark Airport. (Laughter.) Yeah,
ooh-ooh. (Laughter.) So – it’s where I like to hang out. (Laughter.)
Anyway,
in retaliation, I banned him from Burbank Airport, okay? (Laughter.)
Then he got mad, he banned me from the entire state of New Jersey. So I
got mad, I banned him from the state of California. (Applause.) It’s
gotten pretty nasty. Yeah, it’s gotten nasty. This has been going on for
over a week now. People have had enough. There’s enough fighting in
this world. People want Mayor Booker and I to make peace. But how to do
it? How to find resolution?
Well, folks, I received a video
message today from someone well versed in conflict resolution, someone
who’s imploring us to finally bury the hatchet. Ladies and gentlemen, it
doesn’t get any bigger than this.
Take a look. SECRETARY CLINTON: Good
evening, everyone. I’ve been following the ongoing feud between Conan
and Newark Mayor Cory Booker with great interest. And by this I mean I
haven’t been following this feud at all, but my staff just gave me the
gist of it five minutes ago.
As Secretary of State, my job is
to strengthen ties and improve relations, whether it be between nations
around the world, or between the mayor of a mid-sized American city and
the host of a mildly amusing late-night talk show. So I’m here as our
nation’s chief diplomat to tell you the top 10 reasons why Conan and
Cory should make peace. Oh, right, that is the other show.
So
let me just go on from there by saying that the time has come to make
peace. Let’s just chalk it up to Conan’s head injury and be done with
this whole mess, then you can end this silly feud, and you can go back
to what you both do best. For Mayor Booker, that means leading Newark
toward a new era of growth and prosperity. For Conan, that means dancing
around the stage and making lame jokes about my pantsuits. Thank you.
And Conan, please don’t bother me again.
