Trump's veteran's prop project not a winner for Huckabee, Santorum

NY Times:

Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum Slammed for Appearing at Donald Trump Event


From the looks of the polls, they had little to lose, but Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum might have lost the respect of some conservatives by attending a Trump rally.
I suspect it hurt them not just with conservatives but with veterans too.  It was basically just a Trump infomercial where he induced a few of his rich buddies to donate to Trump's foundation  for funds that are supposed to go to veterans groups.  But in the past Trump has donated more money to the Clinton's than he has veterans which raises the suggestion that he is just doing it as a political stunt.

BTW, I am a veteran.
