Frontrunner Donald Trump invited fellow GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum to attend his fundraiser for veterans, after the two expressed interest in attending to support a good cause. Trump even brought them on stage with him to discuss issues involving veterans.
Trump said he had got to know both Huckabee and Santorum "on the trail, as they say."
"We have Mike Huckabee sitting right here." Trump said to the crowd asking Huckabee to stand, adding he's a "great guy."
"Where's Rick?" Trump then questioned. "Come up here for a second."
Trump then pointed to Mrs. Huckabee and Santorum's daughter for recognition.
The crowd started chanting, "U-S-A, U-S-A."
Trump asked Santorum and Huckabee say a few words.
Santorum took to the podium first, which was marked with a Trump campaign sign, and said even though they are competing against each other, "that doesn't mean we can't work together when it comes to our veterans and that's what Mike and I are doing here tonight."

Amazing rally for our Veterans and wounded warriors.
GOD BLESS OUR VETS!!!!
Thank-you Donald Trump!
I was so impressed with Trump’s graciousness in inviting them and then giving them the stage, in Iowa, on national TV, three days before caucus.
A clear indication I think that he respects them and wanted their participation to raise money for the vets, politics be damned.
I think they both indicated interest in coming and he invited them to come on down.
All I can say about Huckabee at this point is, watch your back.
I agree,so many overlook but not TRUMP!
Birds of a feather flock together?
They were both there to damage Cruz and help themselves. Huckabee especially. Huckster is noted for making pacts with other losers an attempt to damage the person that will makes him (Huck) improve his numbers. e.g. deny Romney his win in WV—a win to help mc cain make consecutive primary wins.
Huck and Santorum both inquired the Trump campaign about attending. Trump than responded by inviting them to attend.
than=then
How did they damage Cruz?
Except Trump isn’t a loser. He’s leading every poll. In fact he’s doubled second place on the latest Drudge debate poll and he wasn’t even there!
Rick and Huck are good men.
Pray America wakes
Yet, both of them are sucking up to Trump in an attempt to diminish Cruz in attempt to climb to second place.
The unfortunate reality is that Trump is solidly on top, and everyone smells Cruz's blood in the water.
There's no underestimating ambition and the "Cult of Personality" when it comes to undermining Constitutional conservatism.
The last two winners just about endorsed Trump. Huck and Rick just help Trump, especially with the people Cruz is counting on to win Iowa. Both of whom really don't like Cruz, but then who does? And they improved their future job prospects immensely.
They endorsed Trump, without having to endorse Trump outright, just by attending the event. Both are staunchly pro life, and Huck is (I believe) an ordained minister. Iowans will take note of this.
Gov. Huckabee and his band- Capitol Offense, played at the Free Republic -Count The Silverware- Inaugural Ball, during President GW Bush’s Inauguration, in Jan. of 2001.
I said they attempted to. Trump helped them along.
By kissing Trump’s ass a la Christy and Obama
Whole lotta ass kissinâ goinâ on.
So much for Washi Accords.
YOu are in tank for Cruz...
