if the donald's refusal to release his tax returns, which every other candidate on both sides has done

An enormous amount of mileage can be gleaned from this. Either he still refuses, and looks to be hiding the fact that he pays a far less rate then the rest of us, or reluctantly concedes, and we see how much less he pays that the rest of us.

Either way a political winner.

What? Is this like the Super Bowl to you? mac56 May 2016 #74

maybe... but Trump is as close to unelectable to the presidency as anyone I've ever seen Fast Walker 52 May 2016 #13

They said the same thing about Reagan in 1980. basselope May 2016 #19

Reagan was more genial, and those were different times Fast Walker 52 May 2016 #20

I think very few people understand his campaign. basselope May 2016 #23

if he destroys the GOP, great Fast Walker 52 May 2016 #30

Its very likely he wins.. with a couple of caveats. basselope May 2016 #41

I disagree. cwydro May 2016 #22

Not exactly true... basselope May 2016 #42

Sorry, but no. basselope May 2016 #85

They know how bad his numbers are with women. That's one reason they're afraid. n/t pnwmom May 2016 #87
