I can't wait to see Mr. Trump supporters' lame excuses. Go ahead.

Waiting for Trump supporters isnt as nearly as lame as Trump attackers who find these fake reasons to be outraged.

If you hope to seed discord in the ranks let me tell you it won't work. The fact that the anti-Trump people so desperately want to see his returns is reason enough not to release them. He is running on border, trade and security. I'll leave his tax returns to the IRS.

Trump backpedaled on his promise!

When you are constantly "walking back" and "cleaning up" your comments, who knows what you stand for? I honestly have no idea if he stands for higher taxes or lower taxes, judging by his comments and his own released tax plan. This is what happens when you hand the nomination to a reality television celebrity.

Trump believes that the rules don't apply to him. His groupies agree - they make excuses for the sort of blatant hypocrisy and lying that they would never accept in any other candidate. As disturbing as this is during the primaries, it is truly terrifying to think about what this dynamic would mean for a Trump presidency. All presidents are in a way 'above the law' but Trump would take this to a level we've never even imagined, supported by a legion of apologists explaining away every incompetent and tyrannical act.

Richard Nixon released his tax returns while they were under audit.

Presidential candidates have been voluntarily releasing tax returns for 40 years.

Former IRS agents have said that it is highly unlikely that the audits would be compromised at all by disclosure.

If Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Bernie or Hillary refused to release their tax returns, then the same pro-Trump supporters would have been shooting out fresh blood from wherever. You know it.

This thread conclusively establishes that terms used by some people to describe the Trump Believers, viz., "cult" or "lemming", may very well have basis in fact. Disappointing.

But no, we can't ask lil' Donnie to release the exact same information every other candidate is asked to release. That's just not FAIR! And here's the part where all good little cult members stamp their little feet in outrage that their leader is not exempted from the things every other candidate faces, just because he's so special.
Obama didnt release his college transcripts, the left defended it
Clinton not releasing her transcripts, the left defends it
Clinton Foundation, donors not being released, again, the left defends it...

spare me the fake outrage

NO candidate, on the left or the right, released their college transcripts. No candidate before Obama was ever even asked for them.

Did you demand college transcripts of any candidate on the right? If not, why not?

He'll release them. He's just behaving like a typical, over dramatic, 13 year old girl, like he always does. I'm not get into a tizzy about it because I know what he is, but so many are so easily fooled. Silly rabbits, tricks are for kids.
