states have No authority over presidential candidates running for federal office nt msongs Apr 2019 #14

Some States Have Passed Laws Making Release of Tax Returns a Requirement to be on the Ballot dlk Apr 2019 #21

Wrong ... the Constitution sets some parameters (qualifications) for President SFnomad Apr 2019 #24

States have a lot of latitude in determining how elections are run in their states. TwilightZone Apr 2019 #30

Yes they do. Blue_true Apr 2019 #36

He's got a problem. He's been railing against millionaires and billionaires... brush Apr 2019 #76

As someone that supported Bernie last time I see several people these days that interest me more. My walkingman Apr 2019 #2

Where were you in 2016 ? The tax returns stuff matters now as then. OnDoutside Apr 2019 #78

Admittedly I didn't pay attention to Bernie's tax returns in 2016. I was attracted to his walkingman Apr 2019 #81

It was as much about Bernie's tax returns as it was about Trumps...and MSM gave them a free pass. To OnDoutside Apr 2019 #82

Agree that beating Trump is all that matters. However, I do not see the equivalency between walkingman Apr 2019 #87

This was a great segment by MSNBC Gothmog Apr 2019 #4

Voters are asking bc BS is always pushing Cha Apr 2019 #9

Nope, not a chance. BeckyDem Apr 2019 #5

At this point it has to be more than the confirmation he is a one per center. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #6

Nope. Bernie said he will release them after the tax deadline of the 15th. Unless there's a W2 Autumn Apr 2019 #7

Not all supporters BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #8

No, I've seen so many former BS Cha Apr 2019 #10

Which is probably why they are "former" n/t BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #11

What am I wearing blinders about? His taxes? Autumn Apr 2019 #15

You don't care about his returns huh? Doubt you'll even look at them. Who does that remind me of?nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #13

I don't need to look at them. It will be days of investigating every pixel on them. Autumn Apr 2019 #17

I would hope that after all this time he has straightened out anything that would "be amiss".nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #19

I look forward to finding out if Jane owns Old Towne Media, LLC Gothmog Apr 2019 #20

I'm sure you will find out soon. Good luck. Maggie Haberman's been right before. Autumn Apr 2019 #23

sanders has not yet reported what happened to 2016 campaign funds Gothmog Apr 2019 #89

He never actually said that. cwydro Apr 2019 #66

Yes we will know soon. If he doesn't he won't be on the ballot in some places. nt Autumn Apr 2019 #67

Good. nt cwydro Apr 2019 #68

Stephanie Ruhle gets really mad when you criticize billionaires melman Apr 2019 #12

Stephanie Ruhle reminds me of Kelly Ripa for some reason. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #16

BS brings this on himself by saying Cha Apr 2019 #18

Bernie's a wealthy guy BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #72

Yeah, I saw a tweet of his today Cha Apr 2019 #73

This message was self-deleted by its author BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #80

Exactly why.. Cha Apr 2019 #88

He's still railing against Billionaire$ NastyRiffraff Apr 2019 #92

'Cause he didn't want to Cha Apr 2019 #94

I doubt they will reveal anything interesting. DURHAM D Apr 2019 #22

He reportedly doesn't want his personal wealth made public. RandySF Apr 2019 #27

Yet he constantly bash people about personal wealth. Blue_true Apr 2019 #39

He files the reports every year for the Senate. If you are so interested, they are available online Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #28

Not the same thing. nt DURHAM D Apr 2019 #37

Personal financial disclosures. So yeah. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #38

LOL. Blue_true Apr 2019 #41

So the range can be both on the high end or distorted to the low end? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #50

Cue the crickets... chirp! chirp! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #57

Nope - FEC campaign financial info DURHAM D Apr 2019 #43

You keep saying campaign financial information but your article (and the law) says personal. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #46

Totally beside the point; he promised to release his taxes years ago. If he was a man of his word, LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #49

You'll get the taxes soon. Very soon. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #52

Too late; if he had any integrity, he would have done it long ago. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #54

+1000 Thekaspervote Apr 2019 #59

So does Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Booker, Harris Blue_true Apr 2019 #55

I don't think Harris released more than one year and Booker only allowed a limited viewing. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #56

Harris' returns are public knowledge in California. Blue_true Apr 2019 #58

As far as I can tell Harris only released 2015 in 2016. No more. Though I'm open to correction. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #61

I honestly hope that everyone release several sequential years of returns. Blue_true Apr 2019 #69

They don't contain the same information, and they contain numbers in broad ranges, pnwmom Apr 2019 #71

So use he highest figures. What's the problem? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #74

Personal real estate isn't in the reports. First homes. Second and third homes. pnwmom Apr 2019 #75

Besides being public knowledge, the homes are public record. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #83

If it's a non-issue, then why didn't he release his returns last time around, or in the years pnwmom Apr 2019 #84

What about 1985? Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #85

Sure, if he had wanted to he could have made as many years public as Hillary. pnwmom Apr 2019 #86

No; Sanders could shoot somebody and it wouldn't drive his supporters away. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #25

Is there even a word for that kind of devotion? NurseJackie Apr 2019 #29

Not one that I could use and keep my posting privileges, I expect. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #31

I understand. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #32

Could he shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue in NYC though? nt Blue_true Apr 2019 #42

Good non answer. nt Blue_true Apr 2019 #51

Bernie may have no choice. RandySF Apr 2019 #26

Whatever he's hiding... NurseJackie Apr 2019 #33

For President, their actions are likely unconstitutional Blue_true Apr 2019 #44

MD and NJ already run the primaries RandySF Apr 2019 #45

Were going to have to put up with the same bullshit from him and Jane... Historic NY Apr 2019 #34

Bernie is likely a millionaire. Blue_true Apr 2019 #35

His personal financial disclosures already show that. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #40

it is not silly. BERNIE...... WHERE ARE YOUR TAXES, DAMMIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trueblue2007 Apr 2019 #47

It's difficult for me to imagint the circumstances that would compell comradebillyboy Apr 2019 #62

Release the tax returns Gothmog Apr 2019 #63

His stubbornness will drive more people away than anything likely in his returns. RandySF Apr 2019 #64

I am sure corporate MSNBC hopes so. nt Quixote1818 Apr 2019 #65

Haha. No. aidbo Apr 2019 #70
