Running scared from a debate hosted by Megyn Kelly in Iowa, Donald Trump instead hosted an Iowa event to, according to his campaign, "raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians." The $6 million raised went, curiously, straight to Donald Trump's campaign website -- an odd way to fundraise. That money, equally curiously, has yet to find its way to veterans' groups.
When Donald Trump demanded a $5 million ransom from CNN to appear in their December debate, he also used veterans as a foil. Trump claimed he would donate proceeds to wounded warriors. His interest in veterans is sudden. Forbes reported that of the $5.5 million the Donald J. Trump Foundation gave to charity, "only $57,000 has been donated to seven organizations that directly benefit military veterans or their families."
That's the rough equivalent of a Ford Expedition. It's a weak showing for a billionaire who claims to be the champion of America's service members.
The fact is, Trump hasn't done a damn thing for veterans. America's veterans aren't dopes. Most recognize a cheap political stunt when they see it. Debates scare Trump silly. So he wears veterans' service like Kevlar, hoping the nobility of their sacrifice can shield him from the hostility of tough questions. It's not unexpected behavior from a man who, to judge from his multiple draft deferments, has proven more than happy to let others do the fighting for him.
The fact is, Trump hasn't done a damn thing for veterans. But put that aside for a moment.

Chortle.
Pulls string again. :)
Can’t even be original, very, very weak comeback
5 of 11. :)
Well Congratulations, I guess you can reduce you dosage of stelazine and thorazine. but, tsk, tsk only 35.7%. If Trump is the nominee than I hope he can do better in NOVA, at least 30% of Rubio’s vote was there,
He CRUSHED his South Carlina 0 for 50 score! :)
Summed up perfectly. Not sure why I even clicked on this thread but your post is as far as I need to go.
NR = unhinged and unmoored
You can hang around and congratulate our Good Buddy Dstorm on his candidate's whole two states.
His candidate might have even gotten some delegates this time! :)

Good news, everyone! Cruz has DOUBLED his margin of victory over Trump in Iowa, in his Oklahoma win!
Instead of beating Trump by 1 delegate, he’s DESTROYED Trump by TWO delegates: Cruz 12, Trump 10. :)
I really just have to laugh at you, you’re such a little boy. I back Cruz because he is closest to by values, but learned long ago not to invest to much in political campaigns.
The Cruz boy is a Luzer - just like you, Dstorm. :)
Seven beatiful grandchildren. And moar in the oven. :)

Tell 'em they better hop to it, like bunnies. There can never be ENOUGH grandchildren. Or great-grandchildren.
Fortunately, not all the Cruz people are scum like you.
You stir up trouble wherever you go.
I think you get off on it.
I don’t think name calling is effective from either side of the discussion. I understand it’s done out of frustration from time to time, as is human nature, but it doesn’t really serve any real purpose in a meaningful discussion.
I’m for Trump, but would support Cruz or Rubio if they won the nomination.
