As a side issue, The Club for Growth began as a very small corporation. It grew rapidly.
If Donald Trump has a fund raiser for a small almost invisible veteran's organization it may be that he expects it to grow. If the fund raising today is indicative of the organization, it will grow and will be grateful to Donald Trump for the opportunity to make a difference for veterans. Donald Trump is not going to attract established veteran's groups. He found something that can be built into his vision of advocacy for veterans.
The Club for Growth had a similar trajectory, nearly invisible in 1999 and recognized by 2000. Republicans donate plenty of money to those that are willing to 'do the work' of conservative advocacy.
But this article in "Forbes", states "The Club" changed and alienated a member of it's leadership. The fact he was in the leadership of The Club speaks eons to the group losing it's legitimate purpose. This is an indication The Club is running on it's old steam and not valid economic policy embraced by conservatives. And that was embraced by conservatives. I mentioned it twice to make it clear conservatives have carried out USA economic 'schemes' for over forty years that was completely based in 'bubble and bust.'
A bubble and bust economy is perfect for Republicans, it just sucks for everyone else. By the time Republicans and their bubble and bust economies got to the end of 2008, there were no reserves anywhere to prop up Wall Street Banks. Hello?

...And, it was the Club for Growth that made Republican incumbents think twice before voting against the wishes of the people that elected them. The Club has supported primary challenges to a number of RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), and has bagged a few

Unfortunately, in recent years, the Club for Growth has morphed into something very different than what it was when I joined it in 2000. If you had to give it a name today, the following would be candidates:
The Club for Spending Cuts
While there is nothing “wrong” with advocating spending cuts or austerity, this isn’t what I signed up for when I became an early member of the Club in the summer of 2000. Right now, I feel that, to paraphrase what Ronald Reagan said regarding the Democratic Party, “I didn’t leave the Club for Growth, the Club for Growth left me.”...
