Bernie Sanders announced on The Daily Show: He will release 10 years of tax returns on April 15 [View all] workinclasszero Apr 2019 OP

good. It should stop this being an issue then still_one Apr 2019 #1

Yes workinclasszero Apr 2019 #2

Yes, Bernie's release of his tax info soon, around April 15, is EXACTLY what I've been predicting... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #10

The next thing will be conspiracy theories about them being faked Kentonio Apr 2019 #34

How about just ONE standard for all? If it's not okay for Hortensis Apr 2019 #41

I'd like that to be the standard. Kentonio Apr 2019 #45

Supportive, yes, and dropping support when each is appropriate. Hortensis Apr 2019 #49

Absolutly right ++++ comradebillyboy Apr 2019 #67

You are in for a big disappointment. Tipperary Apr 2019 #47

He said April 15 but not the year BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #56

You predicted he would release four years at some point. NT WeekiWater Apr 2019 #82

Lol. No it won't Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #11

Yeah, you're probably right... but, here's hoping!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #12

It will turn out he released the wrong ones, he's hiding something in the others. Autumn Apr 2019 #42

That's because he avoided it treestar Apr 2019 #77

Well, BS releasing them would no longer be an issue ... but what about the content? n/t SFnomad Apr 2019 #25

Not to worry. If there is a pixel missing in any letter or any number on any page it will be found Autumn Apr 2019 #43

What did he do 11 years ago? Hmmmm? hughee99 Apr 2019 #87

I listened very closely. What he said in that clip was WheelWalker Apr 2019 #4

Good point. He didn't really say he'd release them on the 15th. highplainsdem Apr 2019 #6

Someone should start a countdown clock that ends at midnight on April 15th... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #17

Words mean something. Ambiguity doesn't mean diddly squat. defacto7 Apr 2019 #7

That's how I feel, actually. WheelWalker Apr 2019 #9

Yes - I watched the Daily Show tonight IndianaDave Apr 2019 #31

Thanks for checking the wording. I swallowed the title. Hortensis Apr 2019 #38

That's not going to work at all. I watched the clip ecstatic Apr 2019 #44

You're right, but if he comes back with "that's not what I said", he'll look really bad LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #53

He is probably hiding some deep, dark, ugly secret BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #57

Yup, perhaps he can get William Barr to write a summary of his taxes njhoneybadger Apr 2019 #62

What did he mean by "That will be the 10th year"? LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #74

The same question occurred to me. n/t WheelWalker Apr 2019 #75

What will half of DUers discuss after that? unc70 Apr 2019 #5

How it took massive public shaming to get him to do what he promised years ago? LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #14

Riiiiiiiiight, that's what it took... "massive public shaming"... that's good, really good!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #16

You're kidding? YEARS too late for "credit." Releasing returns Hortensis Apr 2019 #40

I know! That is what makes the interesting enough treestar Apr 2019 #78

Seriously!! The "Bernie's not a Democrat" argument is a dead issue, since he now IS a Democrat... InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #15

Article from two years ago unc70 Apr 2019 #27

Then why did just file for 2024 as an independent? RandySF Apr 2019 #28

And when the primaries are over and Bernie goes back to VT will he still be a dem? Don't think so Thekaspervote Apr 2019 #32

No. He already filed paperwork to run for his next Senate run as an Independent. MrsCoffee Apr 2019 #54

That he hasn't released his full returns like the rest of dem candidates? Remember, Sanders released uponit7771 Apr 2019 #76

Twitter thread discussing what Bernie actually said, how it was puzzling, starting here: highplainsdem Apr 2019 #18

Isn't April 15 the day of his Town Hall on Fox? n/t namahage Apr 2019 #19

Bernie mentioned April 15 to CNN today, in another puzzling statement: highplainsdem Apr 2019 #20

This is called dancing around the question BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #58

Yep. CNN's Manu Raju called it evasive: highplainsdem Apr 2019 #65

I remember getting my first slide rule. I was excited. comradebillyboy Apr 2019 #51

I can still calculate faster on a slide-rule BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #60

I can't; I can use one, but not that fast. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #63

I had to get a calculator when I started grad school. Back then a good comradebillyboy Apr 2019 #64

Now, a K&E Deci-Lon slide rule can go for $150 or more LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #68

My monthly rent in 1974 was $150 and my slide rule was obsolete. comradebillyboy Apr 2019 #69

Finally! I don't know why he had to make such an issue of this. Chemisse Apr 2019 #79

Listen carefully to what he said. He never says he is going to release them. Tipperary Apr 2019 #81

He thinks he will be able to skate like last time BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #83

Voters should pledge right now not to support him if he doesn't release them. n/t Chemisse Apr 2019 #84

he did not say qazplm135 Apr 2019 #85

Shall we hold him to that? MineralMan Apr 2019 #86
