Donald Trump made a promise and he delivered.
In October, the Republican presidential candidate made a commitment to U.S. Army First Sgt. Todd Landen (Ret.) very, very personal. In front of a large crowd at a Sioux City, Iowa, event, he promised the wounded veteran and his family that he would get action to end the runaround Landen was getting from the Veterans Administration.
"I am going to put pressure on the VA like you won't believe," Trump said then. "As president, I can guarantee it. As Trump I can say, 'I'll probably be able to pull it off anyway.'" Trump told Landen and his wife and family. "Because they know it won't stop. It will be easier to take Todd and just say 'Look, we're gonna work with you."
Within a day, Trump's staff were communicating with the family and the VA. Now, back pay and medical records issues that were making life difficult for Landen and his family have now been resolved, senior Trump adviser Daniel Scavino, Jr. announced via YouTube and Twitter on Thursday night.

No, because if you were, you would never have said that.
You know what I mean.
Scenario might have looked like.....
Trump representative: “need for you to resolve this issue of medical records”
Records clerk: “I am sorry, but there is a procedure”
Trump representative: “I understand. Just for your information, if you do not resolve this issue with this veteran’s records, the cameras will be in here, you, your department, and your departmental chain of command will be the subject of (called out by name) of a very well funded documentary that will practically hit the net as we film.
Records clerk: “Give me just one moment...”
Trump representative: “need for you to resolve this issue of back pay”
Administrative clerk: “I am sorry, but there is a procedure”
Trump representative: “I understand. Just for your information, if you do not resolve this issue with this veteran’s back pay, the cameras will be in here, you, your department, and your departmental chain of command will be the subject of (called out by name) a very well funded documentary that will practically hit the net as we film.

Maybe, maybe not.

This is why Trump is ahead, in a nutshell, and why he'll win.
You Cruz folks are going to have to wake up to who are in your midst.
There are people who are viciously lying about Trump, and damaging Cruz support on the forum by their deeds.
You are obviously not one of them, but then I NEVER see Cruz supporters attacking these people either.
You should realize that normal Cruz supporters would not be considered one of his Walking Dead.
so......Donald Trump, a private citizen who holds no official title, is far more effective at getting this Vet the help he needs than every elected representative who is sworn to serve him, and whose staffs are paid with his taxes.
Trump: Promise fulfilled.Personal Score Card: Luke 16:10
Generic Politicians: Promise forgotten.
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and
whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."
fair enough...
Donald Trump made a promise and he delivered.

And the relatives of those killed in Benghazi are still waiting for the truth from Hilary. Maybe when Trump becomes president, they will finally get closure and the truth about what happened to their loved ones that were killed in Benghazi.
Trump is a hard guy to say no to. Rock on Donald.
thanks
= :^)
Can’t wait to see the headlines once Trump clears out the 72 terror watch employees currently working at DHS. Will the media finally admit Obama was supporting terrorism once the truth is exposed?
Wow. Trump has more power than a sitting senator from Texas.
I support Ted Cruz.
This was a great job by Donald Trump.
Good work, Mr. Trump!
He do this X 2 million and as I said he’l kick ash and take names.
None of the rest on either side could get this done.
and a "needs assessment"....focus group......delphi session....workshop....intervention session.....referral.....document review......
if = is
Yep, they must help inform the MSM at times. The hate never ends.
