I figure the “bombshell” Romney’s been pushing is that Trump’s tax rate is low. The low rate would probably be due to loss carryforwards.

Romney didn't say he had a bombshell, in fact he only speculates that perhaps Trump doesn't donate a lot, or pays a low effective rate, doesn't make as much as he says he makes, or some other thing.

But, I'm sure Trump's effective tax rate is lower than the rate for someone who doesn't itemize or have businesses and complicated stuff. That's the tax code.

Would prefer Huckabee for VP over Haley for sure


Same here. Haley Barber is a puke and Trump would be stupid to get near him.

It’s just part of the process if the attack is true.

But Romney produced no evidence to back it up.

That puts him as low as Harry Reid.

The k1s and c filings are a problem for Trump until he knows he’s nominee. If he has the nomination he’s on a clear path to retirement. If he doesn’t he’s going back to business - but then all his competitors will know EVERYTHING. Trump always takes care of the downside as he should. Additionally, his returns will be used for OPPO research. He’s not going to give but one year and it will be late when he does. Or do the Gerald ford thing and release 10 years of summaries.

Rubio was on the short list for Romney's VP in 2012. There's a connection there.

I think Trump will just run out the clock on this..(snip)...until it is no longer an issue. In the general, you know Hillary won’t be pushing anyone to disclose anything.

Then they an both make their ugly face and shout "Liar, Liar, Liar".

If Trump decides to use these demands to release his returns to his benefit, it’s going to be a doozy.

While driving this afternoon, I heard a fellow explain that there were many cases where it would be unethical to make your tax returns public.

H estated that in his own case he had ownership in several businesses and to make his tax returns public would expose personal information about his partners which would amount to a breach of their privacy rights.

He did not mention it, but after thinking about it I could see that a person with all of Trump’s business connections would have to get each and every partner to agree to allow their information to be disclosed, and obviously some would not agree.

That would lead to partial disclosure or blacked out receipts, payments, etc....all of which would bring the haters down on his head, or more accurately, after his head.

My own opinion is that if his returns are OK with the IRS it is none of our business.

Is this the same Huckabee who criticized Cruz’s giving based on his tax records? Huck is disgustingly obvious.

I do recall Trump saying that he’d be willing to pay more in taxes - his fair share. There are a lot of loopholes for the multi rich.

As long as he follows the law, I don’t have any problem with it.

CNN today, comparing it to Romney in 2012, said the only thing about Romney’s taxes was that his effective rate was 14%.

Trump, when asked about his returns, should tell them to, Shove it.

Trump said he paid as little Tax as necessary, just as we all do.
