Death before dismemberment.
Yes, but if you look at Ted Cruz’s tax returns you see that charity toward others is not high on his list of things to do.
Some people can’t be bought. Some people can’t be sold.
Check their Twitter feed @Liberty_HouseNH:
“Thank you @SNHU for raising $1,100 for the #veterans at Liberty House! We appreciate your support!”
Has a photo accepting a check... I guess it depends who is giving the money.
I'm a Trump supporter, but if this story is true, then yeah, you're right. It would have been classier had Trump just released a list of the charities, along with the money they received.
No, what disgusting is Trump using vets as props for a rally.

You mean like the way Trump used illegal children at the Southern Border with Glenn Beck, passing out teddy bears and soccer balls...is that what you mean?
Many of you Cruz supporters are abject hypocrites! And we haven’t even mentioned what Ted the Pius did to Ben Carson.
Ummm... you DO know that you can still donate to the vets' charity, don't you? Or are your "charity" and outrage only for the benefit of The Donald, and not the vets at all? Hmmmm.
Agree.
The Cruz campaign offered to write a check to Veterans groups for a MILLION dollars if they could successfully coerce Trump tobda a one on one debate with him.
As far as I know, that million dollar veterans political football check remains unsent. So, its OK when Cruz supporters do this? They don’t even follow through and hold the million hostage.
Grasping at straws. The donation is still being received by the organization, just not at the event.
He's already confessed to being a businessman and not a politician .... a sort'a religious guy, but not really (IMO) .... and running for President to make America great again
Trump hasn't yet, (but is learning) displayed a lot of the politically acceptable social skills the others have, so if an honorable man, content to be in God's will (MY interpretation) rejects a lot of money ... Trump will be wise to understand, thank the man and move on
It's all a social learning curve ... NOT a reflection on Trump's desire and ability to make America great again
Which ... for me ... is all I want
I don't expect trump to have whores in the oval office bathroom, nor queers in his entire social structure, nor anti-American personalities in his cabinet and there damned sure will be no muslims anywhere NEAR the controlling and determining elements of American politics.
Trump is like George Wallace in that ... with many things ... you know where he stands
As my mom used to say when I did not want something as a kid :” Good there will be more for others!”
For every 1 who does not want the donation, 100 will be there waiting.
You need the money yet you choose to cut your nose off for spite.
It’s like years ago when Rush Limbaugh wanted to help the Pediatric Aids Foundation run by super liberal Elizabeth Glaser. She said no, she did want any filthy money from conservatives.
Mr. Trump can just give that money to another Vet Charity that might want it.
Really?
TRUMP giving money, is “USING the Vets” not the ones who COULD DO GOOD FOR THE VETS, but refuse the money for political reasons?
You people really need to get a grip on your emotional hysterics.
Dislike Trump all you want, but don’t let that lead you into this sort of infantile stupidity.
Sessions appeared with Trump at a rally with Trump.
And Sessions did not endorse Trump.
The Vet Charity could have done the same. Show up. Pick up
a generous check and then leave.
Southern New Hampshire University isn't a political candidate campaigning for office.
Bingo....we have a winner.
thanks for the insight
You mean like the way Trump used illegal children at the Southern Border with Glenn Beck, passing out teddy bears and soccer balls...is that what you mean?

That would be Cruz at the southern border with Beck, but everyone already knew that. ;-)
I agree.
The proper way to do it would be to quietly present them with the check, without the press or even staffers taking pictures.
He could then have the names of the charities listed on his website without amounts, just the charities names.
But Trump wants maximum bang for his buck regardless of the situation.
