1. Good question

I don't think he thought he would get this far, so showing his tax returns from last year was something he didn't have to worry about. I agree he has something to hide and voters need to know what it is.

scandal involving underage girls or maybe he's hiding a senate resume that includes only three introduced bills of no consequence or maybe he's hiding a long personal relationship with the worst non-prosecuted war criminal alive or maybe he's hiding an email scandal that was designed to hide information rather than be for convenience or maybe he's hiding that he's losing in the GE polls to neo-Hitler or maybe he's hiding a lot of campaign misbehavior or ... oh wait. That's the other one. Never mind.

Until HRC releases her speeches to the banksters, this is a very poor tactic to use against Bernie.

And really who gives a rats puttootie?.

We are looking at the mother ratfudge candidate of all time -and he is running as a Republican.

I suggest you post about things that actually matter not selective divisive trivia.

As long as he continues his scorched-earth strategy against her, those tax ilings remain an issue.

I am in a 22% tax bracket. I'm for government helping people and think paying my share is patriotic. When Romney pays 14% on millions I don't think he is paying his fair share. Trump and Bernie are wanting lots of infrastructure but are they obfiscating their tax load on low class people like me?

I don't believe there could be much in the way of dirt in there, but he should have provided a few years of returns a year ago.

What is she hiding?

If she is not going to provide them, have the guts to say so.

or maybe the spouses of several in Congress may be accepting free PHD from for-profit paper mill or maybe he just didn't file for a couple of years.

These are the possibilities that should be cleared.

I assume Hillary made promises to protect the criminal scumbags at Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street Banksters for promises of BIG $$$$$$$$$ to her.

Considering her "donor" list, it's more than just a "possibility."

Not good enough.

I can hardly wait for the GOP to lock on to this with their unrelenting 24/7 loops of shame politics. Ya think you're gonna get by talking the weak line o'shit you have in this thread?


Bwahahahaha!


Dream on CK.

It makes the Clinton campaign look weaker, and it further alienates the 99%.
