    I frankly think her cover-up of her responsibility for the Benghazi disaster will caste a longer shadow than the delayed release of Trump's uninteresting tax returns. Hillary gave a pass to the terrorists who killed Americans serving their nation even as she knowingly lied and blamed a Christian Copt for creating a video that she wrongly blamed for inflaming Muslim passions. She lied to the families of the victims, knowing all along that Islamic terrorists and she herself were actually responsible for their deaths.

    I do not understand why Democrats insist on backing this horrible woman, when they have Thundering Bernie as a perfectly acceptable alternative. We need Bernie to sweep all the remaining states.

    That is a hilarious post since you probably support Hillary!:roflol: Trump is within his legal rights, unlike what we have been putting up with for over seven years.

    I think I stated very clearly that Trump is within his legal rights. Let us also be very clear that Hillary has not been charged with ANY crime and is assumed innocent.

    Hillary is "assumed innocent" only as a legal standard. She is guilty as hell and we all know it.

    Hillary has already released the last 8 years of her tax returns.

    Tr(oll)mp is trying to hide something.

    It's a lame excuse. Trump could release them if he wanted to, and would, if he thought it would benefit him. It's kind of funny to hear Romney say the things he is now saying about Trump. When the shoe was on the other foot, when Romney was running for POTUS, Romney didn't want to release his tax returns either and in the end only released one year of tax returns. Trump is one-upping Romney by not releasing any tax returns.

    Hillary already released her returns so the difference is that Tr(oll)mp has a lot to hide.

    If you're a total fraud and fake I would ignore you plus there isn't any reason for you not to, is there?

    Not one person is going to vote for or against Trump because of tax records anymore than anyone is going to vote for or against Hilllary for not releasing transcripts of her secret promises to Wall Street in exchange for millions of dollars in personal payments to her.

    THE most annoying thing in elections is the fake outrage act of partisans on both sides. It's just annoying pointless. It also is reality that no one message posted on this forum is going to change a single vote either. People who will vote for Trump will do so regardless of tax records and people who will vote for Clinton will rant and rage about tax records of Trump - but declare records of Clinton are irrelevant - and visa versa.

    It also is clear why Clinton will not release her speeches to Wall Street firms for being personally paid hundreds of thousands each. There are things she said she doesn't want people to know that she said. It is clear why Trump does not want to release his tax returns. There are things in those that he did that he doesn't want people to see. Everyone already knows that of both of them. So it's just loud and irrelevant background noise by both sides.

    People should try more to live in actual reality and form their opinions accordingly.

    Not one person on this forum will publish their tax returns on this forum or the internet. Since Trump is acting no differently than everyone else, its just nothing. He filed 100 pages of required sworn financial report. That's enough.

    Donald will never release his tax returns. Ge will lie and his cult will eventually drink his Koolaide and die.

    Like I posted : ""The excuses flowing from the mouths of Trump supporters as to why he's so special that, unlike EVERY other politician, he doesn't have to release HIS tax returns will be, as usual, hilarious crap."""


    ALL Presidential contenders showed their tax returns........why can't Trump?

    I know, I know, that's ON topic which Trumpers hate but they also can't tell the difference between college transcripts and taxes......maybe since they never had college transcripts of their own :)

    Yes, and Hillary is trying to hide what she told Wall Street firms that she was paid hundreds of thousands dollar each for she saying those things. You post the obvious. But it is also obviously pointless.

    Everyone hides things. Ever hear a politician say he is willing to be questioned about anything while hooked up to a polygraph machine? All people have things about themselves and their pasts that they hide. No exceptions.

    Trump has not been charged with any crime either.

    That does seem Hillary Clinton's real campaign slogan. "Vote for me because no one has ever been able to prove I committed any crime" under the assertion that everyone MUST vote for her unless she is charged with a crime. That's funny.

    Ironic given that Hillary hasn't hidden anything regarding the Wall Street income but Tr(oll)mp obviously has a lot to hide since he refuses to disclose his income tax returns.

    Well, that is your belief or hope. But you have no evidence to support those beliefs.

    I think there is far more than enough evidence that Federal Statutes have been violated, why not appoint a special prosecutor so Hillary can clear her name and put it all behind her?

    On top of the volume of classified material found on her private email server including 2 "above top secret" documents, she actually wrote 104 emails containing classified material. Material that was stored at an unauthorized location on an unsecure server attached to the internet just ripe for the hacking. There is evidence of all of that.

    I'm sure an audit for a billionaire takes more than a few hours. Our company has auditors that focus on a 10 million platform and that takes them months...

    Trump released the same financial income reporting information that Clinton did so there is no irony at all. In fact, Trump turned in nearly 100 pages of it - and the media could find nothing to attack with.

    There is only ONE promise I MOST hope Trump keeps, but doubt he will, and that is to have the matter of Hillary Clinton and the emails reviews by a federal grand jury.

    Remember folks....everyone hides things. That is the Trump defenders stance. Vote accordingly

    - - - Updated - - -

    An audit does not stop him from releasing them. That is ridiculous

    People who hav H&R Block fill out the 1 page short form because it's too complicated for them - and then wait for their tax return due to low income - will never understand what you wrote.

    They literally believe the lie that tax returns show net worth. They are that ignorant about tax reports.

    Really?

    Please provide credible nonpartisan evidence to support your allegation that Tr(oll)mp "released the same financial income reporting information that Clinton did".

    Nobody cares about Trump's tax returns, and audits can take a very long time. As you can see, Trump has a rather large return:
    [​IMG]

    For some tens of millions of American voters, it matters less that Trump is clearly not well versed in policy nuances than that he has somehow identified and targeted the weakest points of establishment conservatism.

    For what has the establishment GOP accomplished for its voters—excepting those in its well-nurtured class of consultants and lobbyists? In early 2015, the veteran pollster and Democratic consultant Pat Caddell analyzed a poll of Republican and independent voters, and was shocked by the widespread of animosity respondents expressed towards their own leaders. “The GOP leadership, the lawyers, the lobbyists, the consultant class of the Republican party don’t understand that these people are angry” Caddell said, continuing “I’ve never seen anything like this at the base of a party. And that is why the analogy to the Whigs is not so far-fetched.” This was six months before Trump walked down the escalator at Trump Tower.

    He wasn’t talking about social-issue anger, which has been around for two generations and may be ebbing, but the emotions of people slowly losing their standing in their country. And what can the contemporary Republican Party point to? The war in Iraq, its relentless cheerleading for a war in Iran; lower taxes for the very rich; for its most establishment leaders, legalization of illegal immigrants. These all are proposed against a backdrop of accelerating economic inequality, and the shocking demographic decline—early death through hopelessness one might call it—of less-educated white people. The latter are probably not Trump voters, who more or less match the Republican average in income. But you can’t go to a Trump rally and sense that Trump voters are not so far removed from those people who have given up, and likely feel a sense of shared destiny with them more than does the typical Obama, Hillary or Romney voter. Trump, many conservative intellectuals claim, is not a conservative; but the natural retort to them is what precisely, with their agenda of foreign wars, middle- and working-class job loss, and high rates of immigration, are they trying to conserve?
    ...
    Trumpism is also, as some have noted but the mainstream press has ignored, an American variation of a pan-Western phenomenon. A closely contended referendum about Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union awaits; Marine Le Pen (after purging her father and moderating her party) is the leading politician in France (though the National Front is smaller than the combined center-left and establishment right), and even Germany—deeply and for good reason suspicious of any anti-establishment conservatism, has produced its own “nationalist” conservative party. Ditto Sweden, The Netherlands, Austria, anywhere you look. Due to geography more than any other factor, Europe’s immigration crisis is more severe than America’s, but its newly ascending conservative parties are interested in approximately the same thing—a desire to conserve the best elements about the society of their parents and own youth, including such attributes as a secure and self-confident working class and a considerable sense of common and shared culture. One can denounce such aspirations as bigotry and xenophobia all one wants, but their durability suggests that they are universal, natural and deeply rooted in the human personality.

    In the United States, the question of the day is to what degree will the Republican Party go to accommodate and support these aspirations, of which Donald Trump has improbably become leading vector.

    In Trump’s case, the answer probably is something like an Eisenhower conservatism, with big government and secure employment.
