55. Honest question: If this is true, why doesn't he just get this over with and show them?

Sat Mar 16, 2019, 02:33 PM

Mar 2019

Last time, he promised he would show them before the convention, and he didn't. why the lie?

And now, he is dragging his feet again

why?

Don't you find this even a little bit strange?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Sanders staffs up, still no timeline on tax returns [View all] TexasTowelie Mar 2019 OP

aren't those they same figures he claimed on the first DAY? ucrdem Mar 2019 #1

Bernie raise $6 million in the first 24 hours after he announced TCJ70 Mar 2019 #25

Your number is about what I remember, just over $6 million. nt Blue_true Mar 2019 #51

That's what his campaign said, but the FEC hasn't seen the numbers yet. George II Mar 2019 #75

The question was... TCJ70 Mar 2019 #82

The statement was: "Bernie raise $6 million in the first 24 hours after he announced" George II Mar 2019 #83

And then I linked an article stating it was the campaigns claim. TCJ70 Mar 2019 #87

He's had 3 years to sort this out, it's completely unacceptable. OnDoutside Mar 2019 #2

The 2016 election ended Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #11

He's always known he'd run again. Ergo... three years to "find" his "missing" taxes and "fix" them. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #19

Taxes enid602 Mar 2019 #99

Funny! Or... he fainted when Jane said "I found the tax returns!" NurseJackie Mar 2019 #102

Yes, and............? George II Mar 2019 #21

He never stopped running... comradebillyboy Mar 2019 #38

And knew all that time that the taxes would indeed be requested again. (nt) ehrnst Mar 2019 #39

2016 kept going? Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #100

This has nothing to do with the 2016 election. He knows this is a major issue for the OnDoutside Mar 2019 #47

He said he will release ten years worth of tax returns Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #49

He said he would release them before the last convention; he didn't. His honesty is the issue. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2019 #52

Again, you are stuck in 2016 Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #54

So what? He has said it before, and there's no reason to be live him. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2019 #68

"Sanders is the only candidate in history that this is demanded of." No he isn't. George II Mar 2019 #73

Well it actually ended in March MyNameGoesHere Mar 2019 #101

Sorry but that's silly to say it's a non-issue because he says he'll release them... Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #60

Same song, different year. George II Mar 2019 #74

Yeah and Trump said he'd release his right after the audit was over. Saying and doing are different. dem4decades Mar 2019 #104

It has everything to do with 2016 Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #53

That was a separate issue. You can't accuse trump for not releasing his taxes and OnDoutside Mar 2019 #71

No he didn't. He stopped campaigning when he lost the nomination. Remember Jeff Weaver in Jul 2016? George II Mar 2019 #77

Yep, and we still haven't seen what he promised. We did see one 2-year old return (2014).... George II Mar 2019 #76

Hmmm? Where have Cha Mar 2019 #3

Good point, same old games, different year. Blue_true Mar 2019 #56

Working on it? Mike Nelson Mar 2019 #4

Any redactions beyond Bernie's and Jane's social security numbers TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #5

lol Cha Mar 2019 #6

You should prepare to yawn Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #50

Honest question: If this is true, why doesn't he just get this over with and show them? lunamagica Mar 2019 #55

He should not react to conspiracy theories Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #57

Conspiracy theories? Seriously? All he is asked is to show his full tax retuns for the past ten lunamagica Mar 2019 #61

The conspiracy theory is that he's intentionally hiding them Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #62

why do you think he hasn't released them yet? lunamagica Mar 2019 #63

Why isn't this being demanded of Kamala Harris? Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #65

Sanders has promised to release them for years, and he hasn't. lunamagica Mar 2019 #66

Because she has a track record of releasing her taxes FreeState Mar 2019 #95

She released one, just like Sanders Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #97

He could easily resolve your so-called "conspiracy theory" by releasing his tax returns immediately. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #67

Low-level clerk's dog ate them dalton99a Mar 2019 #69

I can lay my hands on 7 years of returns in five minutes. ehrnst Mar 2019 #84

I have 15 of my last 18, found them in seconds on my computer (and I have backups, too) George II Mar 2019 #106

+1000! mcar Mar 2019 #92

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have ONE thing to say... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #107

"React"? He's had years to prepare for this. For perspective, Elizabeth Warren released 10 years.. George II Mar 2019 #72

Warren's really the Senate leader in advocacy of economic justice and financial transparency. ehrnst Mar 2019 #85

Working on it doesn't make sense. NT WeekiWater Mar 2019 #7

It's been over two weeks since Bernie said it would be "soon". TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #9

For perspective, Elizabeth Warren released tax returns for 10 years back in AUGUST.... George II Mar 2019 #26

These are not the taxes you are looking for.. Amimnoch Mar 2019 #8

He's playing that game again. LiberalBrooke Mar 2019 #10

He has already said he would release ten Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #12

What other candidates have promised them for years? Including saying "Soon" weeks ago. ehrnst Mar 2019 #15

So you're still stuck on 2016 primaries Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #58

But promises made 3 years ago that weren't kept raises a red flag for many. George II Mar 2019 #78

Yep. ehrnst Mar 2019 #80

He released one, didn't make it to the general, so it was over Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #88

You've got that chronology wrong, but whatever. George II Mar 2019 #91

He knew that his tax returns would be requested, for two years. ehrnst Mar 2019 #79

See post #26. And saying isn't doing. George II Mar 2019 #27

"Said he would" is different from "has done", and there is no good reason for delay JHB Mar 2019 #41

Sorry, but no rec: Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #13

So why respond and kick the OP? (nt) ehrnst Mar 2019 #14

Because I'm making a point... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #16

And increasing the visibility of the post that you wish wasn't posted. ehrnst Mar 2019 #17

Apparently, you failed to click the link in my post... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #18

I did, and you have once again kicked the OP that you don't like. ehrnst Mar 2019 #22

...and you apparently disagree with my suggestion (kick) Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #24

I read it, and clearly don't agree with it. ehrnst Mar 2019 #28

How is bashing other Democratic (and those who caucus with us) candidates constructive? Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #29

I think you may have a different definition of 'bashing" than DU does. ehrnst Mar 2019 #30

So what? MrsCoffee Mar 2019 #31

I respect how you feel, TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #34

I certainly didn't say you can't post something... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #35

I post articles about all candidates whether they are positive, negative or neutral. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #43

Fair enough. But, Bernie did release his tax returns last cycle: Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #44

He released one year of tax returns and initially didn't release a complete return for that year. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #45

BS is never going to release his tax returns. If BS had any intention of releasing them... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #20

Makes sense. ehrnst Mar 2019 #23

I can't trust any candidate or politician who isn't forthcoming regarding his (or her) tax returns. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #32

Especially if a candidate has known for years that their returns would be expected as POTUS nominee ehrnst Mar 2019 #33

In over a quarter century, Sanders has released two 1040s, Hortensis Mar 2019 #36

Absolutely a hypocrite Skidmore Mar 2019 #42

But zealously consistent. I don't ever expect him to Hortensis Mar 2019 #46

That's all I'm seeing. I could never support someone like that. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #64
