It's kind of funny what a terrible choice of "issue du jour" they chose today.

No one. NO ONE thinks Bernie is rich, or a liar about money and no one will ever think that because it is so pointedly obviously not true.

I wonder if the Hillary supporters are as tone deaf as their candidate?

If they think THAT story has any legs, then I guess they are.

It is also funny to see how it was launched as the issue of the day in such an obvious and awkward way.

Good for laughs.

When Sanders does release his returns, there will be claims he delayed to give himself the time he needed to doctor them. We will hear theories about how these can't be the real returns because they don't show the wrongdoing we expected, etc.

Many complete their taxes on the last day.
I have no doubt Bernie will release his this month.
What the big deal? I don't get it.

Seems like the attacks are so poorly thought out that it's not quite serious.
