Seems to me that Trump put himself in a corner about the debate. What did he do? In less than 24 hours he put together an impressive event for Veterans that raised over $6 million that goes directly to small charities that will get the support to them. He did it in a way that gave credit to the power of his little folk donors, his wealthy donors, and his rivals who knew a worthwhile endeavor when they see one.
If that's not "grown up", maybe it's time the grown-ups get kicked out of DC!
Be sure to read the whole piece.
It’s spot-on.
Thomas Sowell’s incredible brain seems to switch off whenever he thinks about Trump.
It reminds me of the Chief Inspector, that guy with the twitchy eye in the old Pink Panther movies.
Yep, less than 24 hours, the hall was filled, he got $4 million in donations, donated a million himself, and got over a million in personal donations.
The hall was filled and thousands were standing outside wanting to come in.
Trump has incredible magnetism.
Some folks are convinced all this is evidence of dumb people who are just fanboys.
They’re missing the boat.
He’s just one of the NRO parrots.
I thought the money all goes to his organization?
I honestly cannot inagine the first 24 hours after Trump gets sworn in.
It will probably be like watching a full series of 24, every minute has been pre planned.
Hour 1.....
Hour 2.....
Hour 3.....
Every hour something YUGE, BOOM....down goes Obamacare
And that is just the first 5 minutes.
goodie 2 showa, Sowell, shove it up your backside.
Meanwhile, backers of Ted Cruz said in response to Donald’s vet rally that they too would be willing to donate $1.5 million .....
but only if certain political conditions were satisfied.
Sad, very sad.
Trump is for Trump.
It’s obviously not a coincidence that he chose this moment in time to raise money for Veterans.
Has he ever raised $$ for them in the past?
And, he avoided an ambush by faux journalists attempting a partisan cheap shot for their masters. All in one fell swoop!
Brilliant. I want him on my side.
... Is the fact that he loudly expressed our own disgust with the political establishment a sufficient reason to gamble the whole future of the country by putting him in the White House?
Grania, seriously, Sowell is saying what we have been saying. How many friends do you have that live to destroy others lives like he does, who lies like he does, that if analyzed probably 90% of what he says is I am the greatest and so and so sucks? Is this the first candidate in your life you are supporting that his record and changing his believes every other day does not matter to you? Rubio lost us with one flip flop and Donnie is allowed hundreds?
There is no logic to it. So much blind faith in one so undeserving.
“Grow Up!”
Does anyone ask Hillary! or Bernie to grow up, or Harry Reid, or the Kennedy boy? What about the other so-called Progressives who behave like petulant children when they’re caught with their hands in the cookie jar? And what about the ever-present Anthony Weiner who declared himself on the floor of the House to be an “elite”? Or that other senator who laid a blanket accusation on American Soldiers as being fascistic? And most of all, the president who had serial sexual relations while in office was never asked to
“grow up”.
Is it non-Progressives who are always at fault and out of step?
Just saying.
IMHO
“In less than 24 hours he put together an impressive event...”
That’s what impressed me the most about this whole thing. Trump pulled together some very significant resources, from scratch (including extended prime airtime on a major news station), in a short amount of time...and produced VERY significant results.
That statement is a lie... all donations went to the Trump Foundation... who in it’s history had given less than $60,000 to Veterans Groups... and over $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
All your donations did was allow Trump to shelter another few million of his and his friends money tax free.
