Well, this kind of lying tripe article and some of the following comments show that NOBODY on our side has the right to cast the first stone.

The last few days have shown how low ‘good conservatives’ are willing to go.

As a group, we’re no better than the most rotten leftist.

See post #32.

Some of people on this board act like Trump is accountable to them for his own, private, money. They lambaste him for not spending it the way THEY want him to.

He’s not the government. His money didn’t come from taxes. He can spend it, or not, any way he sees fit. He’s accountable to no one in that regard, and it’s really no ones business.

Insofar as the veterans telethon, I’m sure all of those size able pledges have not been paid yet. He can’t disperse the money until it comes in.

I can’t believe that I’m still amazed at how low ‘conservatives’ are willing to go this election.

I have NEVER seen my party and my fellow conservatives stoop so low. NEVER.

Yeah, some of them upthread are posting that "$57,000" lie, which they KNOW is a lying smear - but they're posting it anyway.

From post#40, by Marie:

As of 4 days ago, only THREE of the charities haven’t received their donations.

http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2016/02/26/some-trump-charities-waiting-on-funds.html

The hold-up is that it was money that was ‘pledged’ and they’re still waiting for all of the donors to pay up.

“He’s distributed multi-millions of dollars…It was money that was pledged, and we are still collecting it,” Lewandowski said. “We are continuing to follow up with people who pledge donations.” Additionally, he said: “We’ve added another couple dozen organizations to the list of veteran organizations that will receive donations.”

Go ahead if you’re moved to.

On the other hand, I want the truth out there.

Perhaps a fresh post with the refutation noted in the title.

So, basically - this is a lying yellow journalism smear by the scum from the National e-Spew.

“Sounds like you’re a jealous CopyingCRuzer.”

Here’s one for you ConservativeWarrior.
If you like, I’ll pass all the insults and name calling from the Trump side your way so you can teach them civility.

He gave $250,000 to the Clintons, and that was before he felt the need to propagandize his “charity” to convince gullible conservatives that he was on their side.

Don’t like it when your own name calling style/tactic is thrown right back at you, do you?

Then you run a CRy.

Showed your colors, perfectly.

When I joined this thread I assumed Trump had dispensed most if not all of the money.

At the time I posted, no one had shown that the article was incorrect, all they did was bash the writer and the publication.

I was wrong twice - Trump hasn't dispensed the money and the article is factually incorrect.

I don't understand why the money hasn't been dispensed yet. I hope the interest it accrues in the mean time goes to support veterans.

Typical, just like your candidate, when asked a question you attack and avoid answering the question. Don’t bother with the ad hominem, I’d rather be “pond scum” then a recently defecated turd like you.

So, I'm taking a vote from the interested parties on this thread.

Do you want this pulled as a lying yellow journalism smear, or do you want it left up as example of how low some "conservatives" will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates?

Which will it be?

Look at you!

You just voted on my post #55, under the column of "do you want it left up as example of how low some "conservatives" will go to support their choice, and smear other candidates".

Your vote is counted, Dstorm. :)

I don’t think it has to be left up for that reason you suggested. Let people read through all the posts/articles and decide.

National Review? Good source. Did the author call Trump a prostitute?
