Trump Trivia

last night's festivities were brought to you courtesy of moveon.org, the good folks who encourage racial divisiveness designed to get minorities out to vote.
 
For the record, its infinitely easier to get into an Ivy as a transfer as opposed to freshman admission.

I am not sure that your statement that transfer admission to an Ivy is "infinitely" easier than freshmen admission. The only school that your statement applies to is Cornell.

The following are 2012 transfer rates which I doubt are much different than 2015:
Princeton 0.00% transfer admit rate (no transfers since 1990)
Harvard 1.04% transfer admit rate
Yale 2.68% transfer admit rate
Columbia 6.22% transfer admit rate
Penn 9.40% transfer admit rate
Dartmouth 3.75 transfer admit rate
Brown 5.60%
Cornell 20.59% transfer admit rate

Stanford 2.25% transfer admit rate
UChicago 2.22% transfer admit rate

If you have evidence to support your statement then I would be pleased to see it.... Thanks.

As you are aware those statistics are meaningless because they do not consider the academic qualifications of transfer applicants

Anrcdotal evidence #1. My son had a hs classmate w an average in the high 80s. He was wait listed at villanova but eventually got in. After one year he transferred to u penn.

Anecdotal evidence #2. My daughter had a friend who with non ivy qualifications who went to Haverford for 2 years, then transferred to Harvard.

The transfer mechanism is a back door to the ivys. Very few students want to transfer aftwr one or two years especially high performing ones. To fill in classes from.dropouts, tge ivys go to the next tier
 
Umm. Wrong. Trump not only condones violence at his events, he incites violence at his events. He encourages his fans to assault protestors so, well, not the same thing at all.

He's only a master to salesman to idiots and racists, are you falling for it?

When you say "condones violence", do you mean like when people are rioting and burning in the streets, he waits a few days until things have calmed down before he comes out and calls for peace?

I am by no means a Trump supporter but if you do not think that these "protesters" are not plants to incite these responses you are being naive. Then they take to social media and post what they "heard" people at the rally say; this is crazy and unfortunately It is only going to get worse. Trump is only getting 35% of the vote. He does not represent the views of the majority of Republicans. With the weakness of the Democratic candidates this year, to think that Trump would be the nominee is too scary.
If the two front runners ARE the nominees this year it will be a disaster for our country.

Haverford is an excellent school. I don't think their admission standards are much different than Penn. A lot of small schools, Bowdein, Swarthmore,Williams ,Amherst have Ivy like admissions standards.

I too believe a lot of these protesters are there trying to incite a response from the attendees and don't necessarily agree with the approach. However, it is pretty scary how easy it is to get a response.
 
Yeah Austour, you've got some set of balls to call all Trump supporters idiots and racists when probably only 95 percent of them fit that description. Not sure what weird issue the other 5 percent have, though.
 
I grew up in a very conservative town, maher knows all about it. So naturally I am a liberal. And I will tell you with 100% unwavering confidence I would vote for Trump over Clinton. She can't even admit the Obama administration never lived up to expectations (only voted for him in 2008, not 2012!). Not to mention the fact that she has no integrity and humanity.
 
also worth noting, Trump appeals to the hicks with his rhetoric for sure. But 80% of the things he is promising to deliver on will never happen. he knows this and is playing to the constituents and is more of a politician than he is letting on.
 
Thankfully my vote carried Kasich to victory in Ohio!

Mrs. OhioFan and I are moving to Brazil with the entire family if Trump is elected POTUS. We figure South America is the only continent that will not get a direct nuclear strike. That way we have some change of saving our grandchildren.

Regarding things not going to happen I agree, just like Bernie. And some of what he's promising that could actually happen I actually agree with. However, in the extremely unlikely event he is elected what is going to happen is we'll be the laughing stock of the planet (if the NRA hasn't made us such already, my friends around the world would tend to think it's a close call) with no ability to participate in any global conversations and likely no ability to govern ourselves. And he will still be commander in chief and that's the scariest part of the whole equation. But you give him far more credit than he deserves. The ONLY thing he seems he seems to hold any acuity for is shameless self promotion. Just because people who know him hate him slightly less than people who know Ted Cruz hate him doesn't make him a good politician.
 
PS he'll get killed in actual one on one debates where he'll have to actually say something of substance, explain his plans and positions and appeal to more than that lowest common denominator 20% that is his present supporting base.
 
Reading political theories of posters on my favorite teams fan forum is about as laughable as some Hillary/Bernie/Barry supporters burning down the cities they live in, but I guess the "ignorant" non sheeple should just listen and shut up. How has all the hope and change worked? But I'll take political advice from a poster on redmen.com with a monkey as his avatar
 
Ahh, but a monkey wearing glasses! Which is a sign of intelligence, or shortsightedness, or something or other.

He uses WWF(WWE now) techniques effectively. While all politicians lie and some are really evil(Frank Underwood) for example, I have no idea what Trump believes. I feel the same about Hillary but at least I know you will get similar crap as with Bill.
