With no major networks covering it and major veterans groups not wanting anything to do with it or not knowing, is this turning into a big flop for the Donald?

I wonder if he'll come out and say the vets groups are low energy losers who don't represent veterans?

Yes, the narrative is going to look VERY ugly for him come Friday morning.

Ah, Lief's new acolyte. I am looking forward to seeing how much The Donald underperforms his polls numbers in Iowa myself.

Personally I look forward to you rationalising voting for Ted Cruz when the time comes.

That day is never going to come honey, and I'm a registered Dem, so I can't anyway. I'm voting for Lessig. Cruz baby is not going to get the nomination, so he's not in play in the General either.

I'm worried that my dislike for the Donald in general and this stunt in particular might be influencing my perception, but it's starting to seem that way.

Right now, it looks like he's not going to get coverage, and has no veteran's group supporting his "veterans event". Cruz challenge has gone unanswered and Trump's Twitter looks increasingly desperate. If all that is followed this evening by a ranting Donald on Twitter at failed event, and matched by a substantial and well-received Trump-ignoring debate that still manages to get good ratings and then is followed up by a defeat in Iowa, that's a brutal narrative.

That's a number of huge 'ifs', but I don't see Trump as dealing well if he truly starts to slide.  I'm certainly crossing my fingers.

I actually think it's a good thing that no veterans groups are accepting donations. It gives Trump a chance to announce his very own veterans charity created and managed by the Trump Organization. It'll be bigger and better than any other vet charity out there.

It can't be a flop! Mike Huckabee is apparently joining him.  On a serious note, it should be able to be live streamed somewhere.

You guys still don't get what's going on and it's too late. The Donald will win Iowa, NH, and SC, and will probably run the table.

Wow.

Yes, that all the USA needs.
A new Trump veterans charity, that only supports veterans who have not been captured and/or tortured.
This new Trump charity that you imagine, would quickly become a TrumpTrainWreck.

Sponsored by the Donald J. Trump Foundation. It's happening.
