Why would Mitt Romney go on national television and declare, "I think we have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes. Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay"? Since when does buttoned-down, white-bread Mitt Romney make audacious, provocative accusations? Romney's accusation might be a safe bet â if not to be verified, then to never be refuted. Just a few years ago, Trump refused to release un-redacted tax returns, even when it could help him win a $5 billion libel lawsuit against a New York Times reporter and author. If Trump was unwilling to release his returns in that circumstance, how likely is it that Trump will release them before Election Day? Just for your info, tax returns have 0 to do w/ someone's net worth. I have already filed my financial statements w/ FEC. They are great! â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2016 Trump's wealth is a key part of his public image, his status in the eyes of his fans, and his self-image. On July 15, Trump issued a statement declaring, "As of this date, Mr. Trump's net worth is in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS." (Capital letters in original.)

Which is why he is hiding his tax returns.
A tax return will not necessarily establish personal net worth.
I guess you will be voting for Hillary?
What if he has more?
Can’t imagine why globalist GOPe stooge Mitt would spew baseless gossip about Trump.
Just checked. He only has $175.00 in his bank account. But, he’s got me beat. :>)
My response to idiots like you: Jack Ass.
None of the candidates are required to release their tax returns.
Trump has already filed a net worth statement. It has been accepted without challenge.
Propagandists will propagandize...
“Why would Mitt Romney go on national television and declare, “I think we have good reason to believe that there’s a bombshell in Donald Trump’s taxes.””
because he was paid to?
because he was extorted to?
because he felt out of practice in attacking other Republicans?
because he was just making stuff up because he has no legal standing to have inside information about Trump’s private tax returns?
because he’s been illegally fed Trump’s private tax returns by someone in the Obama administration?
because he suddenly decided to try out Glenn Beck’s patented nothingburger “bombshell” announcements?
because he got the idea after catching a rerun of Geraldo’s Capone’s Vault show on late night television?
Maybe they should republish their Mitt Romney love stories.
Wonder how much of the myth of Trump is smoke, mirrors, and bluster.
Dying laughing that the same people in the GOP who squealed in hysteria about Dems doing this to Romney in 2012, now are trying out the same tactics on Trump.
Open Secrets.org children. Trump has all ready put up $25 million of his own money into the race.. Seen his jet? Want to guess how many $ an hour one of those takes to run?
Freeper please, Find another attack line cause this one is idiotic
How did Hillary get her millions? The Republicans want to destroy Republicans because of resentment. They should direct their negatives to the people who are destroying this country.

if Trump gets the nomination, you can bet that every Bush/Rubio superpac will support Hillary and Jewbacca will eat it up
People are figuring out that the crap blowhards like you quote is all smoke and mirrors.
That is why Trump blew out NH and SC and beat both Ted and Rubio combined in NV.
Mean while Ted doubles down on lies, half truths and misrepresentations, and continues to commit political suicide right before our eyes in real time.
