[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Former student Tarla Makaeff, the original plaintiff in the litigation, not only completed multiple surveys rating Trump University’s three-day seminar “excellent” in every category, but also praised Trump University’s mentorship program in a glowing 5 plus minute video testimonial. When asked “how could Trump University help to meet [her] goals”, she simply stated “[c]ontinue to offer great classes.” Once the plaintiffs’ lawyers realized how disastrous a witness she was, they asked to have her removed from the case. Over my lawyers’ objections, the judge granted the plaintiffs’ motion, but allowed the case to continue. [/quote]

You misunderstand class-action litigation, just like Trump thinks you will, because it is complicated. Lead plaintiffs and class representatives can definitely be substituted, it happens all the time. You don't dismiss a class-action suit when the class has 1000 potentially defrauded plaintiffs because one wasn't the best choice to represent the class. If she had pursued an INDIVIDUAL lawsuit for fraud against Trump, then it may have been appropriate to dismiss. I say "may" because documents reveal that "students" had to complete said surveys in clear view of and under pressure from the "teachers." But that is not at all the same as a class action.[/quote]

Fair enough.

He is still biased, however. Clearly so. Especially given his financial ties to the Clintons[/quote]

Jesus Christ with your "his financial ties to the Clintons." There is a whole different thread here about this "issue" laughing at people like you for actually thinking it is real. I will quote the OP from that thread and my response below:

[i]OP: So one of Trump's arguments (once he moved on from claiming the judge was biased based on his Mexican heritage) is that the law firms representing the plaintiffs had given to the Clinton campaign. Turns out even Trump's own attorney is a longtime Clinton supporter and has donated to her campaign as recently as this year. And Trump himself has donated to Hillary's campaign. So basically everyone involved in the lawsuit (except for the judge) has donated to the Clintons.

Too funny!

ME: That is funny. Basically every plaintiff-side class-action litigation firm donates buckets of money to Democrats, so if Trump finds that unfair, his only remedy is not to defraud enough people to form a class that wants their money back.[i]
