    I do not understand how some users on here think Trump is hiding something by not releasing his tax returns, but at the same time don't think Clinton was hiding something when she and her team deleted 33,000 emails before letting the FBI look over other emails.

    I do not see what is to be gained by either candidate acting in this manner. I realize that it is not required for Trump to release his tax returns, but it is somewhat customary for presidential candidates to do so. Furthermore, when he says stuff like "I will release my tax returns against my lawyers' advice...", I question what is in his tax returns that has his lawyers so concerned.

    Similarly, if Hillary's emails were really just about yoga and other non-work-related topics, why would she not turn them over to the FBI originally? If I was in her position and had 33,000 emails about yoga, I would have turned them over immediately because there wouldn't have been anything to be gained from the contents. Close personal matters are one thing, but yoga? Come on....

    And it doesn't help when the FBI discovers that nearly half of those deleted emails were work-related.

    When I smell smoke, I know it has to be coming from a fire. There's an awful lot of smoke billowing from both candidates....

    Trump doesn't release his tax returns because they will reveal that he is not the great business man he pretends to be. They will show that the greater part of his wealth comes from television appearances.

    Don't worry champ. After your boy loses next week, there will be a new golden era in GOP politics. It will be known as the Benghemailweiner era. Your heros will focus on the issues the American people really care about and (*)(*)(*)(*) away a couple billion dollars trying to prove that Anthony Weiner shoved a cigar up Hillary Clinton's ass when she wasn't looking, and texted a picture of it to a 13 year old girl. The guys in charge of the GOP congress are just the type of guys to do it. You guys are all set.

    So, getting away from helping the working man and focusing lavish attention on corporations, banks, and the global elite which represents the new Democrat party is a good thing?

    I have never seen a Republican administration, congress or Supreme Court do anything but whore themselves out to corporations and monied interests at the expense of the working people of this country. I admit, the Democrats of late have been doing the same thing, but the GOP is always a reliable ally for and greedy scumbags willing to pay for service. I am hoping that a Democratic administration will finally break the stranglehold the corporate fascists have had on the Supreme Court for decades by appointing a new Justice that will side with working people instead of corporate interests.

    LOL, keep dreaming. Talk is not action and if you expect Hillary who is in bed with them all to do anything, you have your head buried in the sand.

    Both he and his son have admitted that he's not releasing them because of the political harm they will cause to him. He noted how it hurt Romney and said he wants to avoid that

    Trump has promised to appoint Supreme Court Justices in the mold of Scalia who was a rubber stamp for corporate scumbags and against the working man. I'd like to see a US Supreme Court who would rule in favor of the people instead of just the people with billions of dollars.

    He will. As soon as his routine audit is conclude. The Trumpster WILL Release His Tax Returns!

    Your thoughts on Two Official Favors To Morocco Resulting In $28 Million For Clinton Foundation? She sold the office of Secretary of State for some tidy multi-million dollar sums. How much do you think she could have sold the office of the Presidency for if A. Weiner wouldn't have popped up at the most inconvenient moment?

    What? Just because I'm a conservative doesn't mean I like Trump, and I'm not naive enough to blow off either candidate's issues just because they're running for a certain party. There are a few things I agree with Trump on, but I can't support him because I do not trust him, but I sure as hell can't support Hillary, and I don't even like Gary Johnson because he's somewhat clueless.

    I would have been happy with Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina or someone like that. Heck I'd probably support Mike Pence (if he was running for president) over these two clowns. But nooooope, instead we get two criminal multimillion/billionaires who contradict themselves every other day and really don't care about anything except making themselves trillionaires.

    Though he was asked to run but did not except, my choice would've been Mitch Daniels.

    With the IRS in bed with the DNC, do you actually believe that the Clinton crime family hasn't seen his tax returns? If not I have a practically new reset button that used to belong to Putin, that I could let you have cheap.
