I'm sorry, Trump is totally unstable. He's whining about Megyn Kelly treats him bad, blah, blah, blah and how great his rally tomorrow is going to be and so on and so on.

Yes, get used to it Donald. If you are elected you will be treated unfairly by 95% of the media.

Quit whining, come to the debate and stand up to Megyn Kelly. If you can't face her, you can't face all the despots in the world you will have to deal with.

I'm convinced the man is totally nuts.

What did you give?

And why did you give it?

What interest do you have?

[P-Marlowe]

Some of us recognize a winner.

And some of us recognize a Whiner.

[PA Engineer]

None of your business and you’re rude to ask.

Very rude.

Just how would being quiet help raise any money? People have to know about something so they can donate. Our vets need all the help they can get. I support them 100%. Both brothers were in the military—one in the USAF and the other one in the Army. My daughter also served. I have never, ever seen anyone or any group raise funds without telling people about it. They do flyers, ads, etc. I as involved in raising money for my daughter's high school band to go to Austria and Germany for international competition. We worked our butts off to raise that money. Do you think we would have done that by keeping quiet? Shaking my head.

[PA Engineer]

Ask Jim?

I got another few hundred I can give. How about you? Care to match? The biggest mouths have the tightest wallets.

[MamaB]

That is none of your cotton picking business. Making things personal is not allowed.

[MamaB]

Amen.

[Osage Orange]

You have a personal interest....

Okay

[Osage Orange]

Tell me what you gave...

Like I said....I think you have a personal attachment here....

No problem....

I think I stepped into someone's post that you have a personal interest in.....

Seems like it....

"Why in God’s name did he go on O’Reilly to begin with? It completely steps on his own anti-Fox message."

Answer: Because Donald Trump is a man of principal who keeps his word and his promises, in spite of what it may personally cost him; that's why. Mr. Trump had personally given his word to Ted Baxter's Bill that he would appear on his show for an "exclusive interview". He had given his word to appear long before Fau News's childish, utterly demeaning, personal attack/hit piece press release, that directly led to Trump's firm decision to skip the next Fau News "debate".

Having already given his word Mr. Trump was faced with a moral decision: Do I keep my word, inspite of how shabily I have been treated, and the ridicule I will undoubtedly face for my decision, or do I break my word using the reasonable justification that due to current circumstances I am unable to attend?

Donald Trump had no alternative but to attend the interview because his word is his bond, and unlike lying O'Reilly; Trump keeps his word.

[Osage Orange]

Apparently you didn’t follow the whole conversation....but that’s natch for around here.

[Washi]

I was in the military. You are disingenuously using my term "keep quiet", just like a good, little Trump opportunist.

Please substitute "don't self-promote on the backs of our veterans" for my previous use of "keep quiet".

[PA Engineer]

I think I stepped into someone's post that you have a personal interest in.....

Nope. I just think we should get this quarter finished. Check my donor history. Check it all the way back as far as it goes. Check it by quarter. I don't mind. Should I ping you to the donor thread? Where would you like to start the donation match?

Free Republic needs your help. Our you going to let this site down?

[PA Engineer]

Please substitute "don't self-promote on the backs of our veterans" for my previous use of "keep quiet".

Why do you assume many of us don't do things for our Vets?

[Pelham]

“”Keeping his fundraiser quiet” means not yelling to the media “Look at me!!!! I’m raising money for the vets!!!””

He couldn’t hold a fundraiser without publicizing it.

Trump is the biggest draw in the country right now, and he’s using his celebrity for the vet’s benefit, for free, instead of letting Fox News benefit by doubling their debate audience.

Of all the complaints about Trump, complaining about him donating his name and time to raising money for wounded vets has to rank as the most petty.

[Osage Orange]

I give now...........

Haven't always...but have for many years now.

So..what's the connection with Molly?

[Iscool]

It is a stupid move on Cruz supporters part and frankly just disgusting that the only way they will give money to the wounded warriors is if Trump debates Cruz for the 6th time

These are not issues with Cruz or anyone in the debates...And they can't figure out why Trump is doing so good with the American people and the rest of them are doing so badly...

[PA Engineer]

Your freepmail for all to see. This is public and not private.

Hey...the hell with it...

How about you give $30,000.00 right now...and prove it...and I will match it.

What can you really afford? Where do you want to start? Give a real number and I will ping you to the fund raising thread.

You don't know much about money transfers to throw that number out. Be realistic.

Oh.

So..what's the connection with Molly?

No connection. Just want to close out this Freepathon. How about you?

This is not about you freezing your tongue to a pole.

I said people who raise funds for anything do not keep quiet. They do all kinds of publicity events to get the word out. Let me give you an example. I am from a MS county which has less than 18,000 people. Yet, those people spread the word about raising over $100,000 to send the high school solar car team back to Australia. This little town has raised that amount for 2 years. They won the international competition in Australia both times. Do you think they would have raised $1000 with no publicity? Nope. Look up The Sundancer Solar Car. These students from this high school work hard to be the best they can be. They did it with publicity.

[MamaB]

I do not understand this kind of thinking. Maybe it is way past my bedtime. : )
