Couldn’t Trump go ahead and pay out for the donations himself and receive the incoming money as payment for a no-interest loan? If he’s going to get things done, wouldn’t this be a good time to start? Between himself and Perlmutter, $2M should be immediately available to send to some of the groups.

My veterans organization got over $50,000 dollars so you all need to STFU!
Please!

How pathetic. It’s been only three weeks since the January 28th Trump event and the Trump haters put out this non-sensical story.

And the rest of America is waiting for Cruz to accomplish something in his career besides collecting government paychecks.

Anyone with the most remote connection to fundraising and receiving donations knows that six months is about the average time it takes for a donation to go from announcement to actual delivery.

Worth repeating...

There is no doubt in my mind that veterans organizations of Trumps choosing will get 100% of the proceeds.

Maybe the ones they’re talking about are the ones that said they will refuse any money from Trump.

And what has any other candidates done for the vets and wounded warriors. Squat, they are too busy biting at Trump’s ankles.

That was my first thought when I read the headline. Very sad and says a lot about the people who are licking their lips at this non-story.

Yes, I see this too.

Started out loving Cruz, but the nastiness has gone too far. He needs to have better control over his campaign managers and close associates. This is where I see the dirty politics.

If Cruz were a businessman, and campaign promises were businesses, Cruz would have had to file bancruptcy on every business he started.

The 22 organizations he plans to give to are on his website. Instead of making accusations have you bothered to contact them to verify before spreading stories.

Yeah, you’re right. Any post concerning Trump needs to be fully vetted. Now, Trump doesn’t need to be vetted, but stories about him should be. Posters should call up 22 organizations to confirm the journalist has gotten the story correct.

Better to verify than lie I would think.

So you personally verify ever article you see before posting? I didn’t think so.

I don’t post articles but I do try to research ones that I read because the truth is important. There has been far too much posted on several candidates that under scrutiny don’t hold true. FR is one site I have always felt confident to trust. To post something with NO knowledge of it’s veracity and not to at least mention that is wrong regardless of what side does it. Many posters do clarify in parenthesis if there is a question.
