Exploiting vets is exploiting them, which is what "The Donald" is doing.
If his primary interest were raising money for vets, he'd chicken out of the debate, and raise money for the vets quietly.
Instead, he's chickening out of the debate, and bombastically advertising that instead, he'll be doing a fundraiser for men and women who are much better people than he is, and that we should all pay attention to him instead of the debate he chickened out of.
Let’s see if Trump cares enough about the veterans to debate Cruz for the $1.5 million donation to veterans groups.
You are totally off base! Trump asked the Fox people to give some of their money from the debates to the Vets because their ratings were so far above normal...record breakers. They ignored him. So this time Trump ignores Fox and raises money for the Vets himself. Fox is going to be VERY sorry they snubbed Trumps request, then insulted him, then set a trap they thought he would be dumb enough to walk into. This is just another example of exactly what happened when they wouldn’t let Trump land his helicopter at the Fair. He rented the field nearby and gave free rides to children. Who won, the Fair or Trump? Trump did and he’s going to win this one too.BECAUSE he is doing the right thing!
“If his primary interest were raising money for vets, he’d chicken out of the debate, and raise money for the vets quietly.”
I see. So Trump’s vet fundraiser would do much better if he kept it quiet and didn’t tell anyone.
You must be mystified whenever there’s a telethon doing a fundraiser for MDA or PBS or whatever. They would do so much better if they didn’t publicize their fundraising.
