That is a small venue.
775 seats.
Source of article is CNN - are they broadcasting.
Does anyone have a problem with an event that supports and raises funds for veterans but might also turn into or be a political event?
No one is being forced to attend. Seems like free assembly to me.
.@SenJohnMcCain: @realDonaldTrump is using a veterans event for "political purposes" https://t.co/AksIRWmYqw https://t.co/lLt2ENFX2C— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) January 27, 2016
LOL because he never traded off his service. What’s next, John Kerry to condemn?
Actually, he’s using a political event for veteran purposes.
It's a wrap...now just to find a soothingly face-saving way back to Trump Tower.
I have been unable to confirm that CNN is covering the event as reported on another FR thread.
I see no reason why a political event can’t raise money for our veterans.
With just 5 short days before the Iowa Caucus, Mr. Trump will be holding a special event tomorrow night to benefit Veteran Organizations at Drake University - Sheslow Auditorium and we want you to be there! The address of the venue is 2507 Carpenter Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50311. The doors will open at 5:00 p.m. and the event will begin at 7:00 p.m.
