(27,461 posts)11. Nah. The tax return "truthers" on the internet will claim they uncovered something shady.
I saw one clown on the internets claim his 2014 return was fraudulent because the wages line didnt equal the published salary for a US Senator. Totally ignoring the wages Line includes the deduction for employer sponsored retirement contributions reflected on in the W2 wages box.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

I don't write his speeches so I have no idea. I don't think he will and see no reason why he should.

To be fair "not liking" someone is a valid reason for not supporting a candidate.
