GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the nation needs a president with an Ivy League education.
“I went to an Ivy League school,” he said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” “I was an excellent student at the Wharton School of Finance, which is the best in the world, one of the hardest to get into in the world, maybe the hardest, but maybe one of the hardest to get into, even back then.”
“That’s the kind of thinking our country needs, that mindset,” Trump added. “The fact is, that’s the kind of mindset or thinking we need to beat China on trade. They’re killing us.”

Trump: US needs president with Ivy League ‘mindset’
________________________________
Trump is absolutely right. And Ted Cruz (Harvard AND Princeton) is just the man we want and need.
This comment disqualifies him as he cannot grasp what is important. We have had it with Ivy Leaguers as President and Supreme Court Justices.
I listened to the interview and did not here that at all.
Eh. I’m liking Trump but Ivy League hivemind is part of our problem, not a solution.
He seems to be trying to hard to combat this meme that he is stupid.
His advisories are worse than his adversaries on a few issues...
Yes, I am OK with a President with an Ivy League mindset. Let’s elect Ted Cruz.
Ever notice how choppy this guts phrasing is???
I was an excellent student at the Wharton School of Finance, which is the best in the world, one of the hardest to get into in the world, .....maybe the hardest, .....but maybe... one of the hardest to get into, even back then.”
what an orator
At least he went to an Ivy League Business School as opposed to an Ivy League Law School.
He loves to talk and talk and talk and talk.
And his favorite subject is always himself.
Kinda reminds you of...well...you know who.
Yeah, let’s go with a UTA graduate or a college drop-out, right?
It’s easy to forget that GWB has an MBA from Harvard, with all the damage he did to the economy.
Oh Dear God No
Watch it, I’m a UTA Grad (MBA).
I think I would prefer someone who dropped out of our Socialist Indoctrination Centers (Colleges) and built a business, made payroll, and perhaps served his country in the Military.
As an Ivy Leaguer myself, I must say that the last thing that we need is an Ivy League mindset in the White House, or in government at large, for that matter.
He has some seriously brilliant competition in Cruz and Carson.
I was referencing a certain B.A. graduate.
