The attack is on. I think he knew this was coming.
They can talk about tax returns all they want.
I say, counter-attack ...

Rubio still ‘Gang of Eight’ at heart [my take]

Sunday on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ Republican presidential candidate Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said, ‘I don’t think you’ll round up and deport 12 million people. It’s clear now more than ever that we won’t be able to do anything on people here illegally until we first prove to people that illegal immigration is under control and America is safe.’

Rubio: Enforcing immigration law is ‘militaristic’

“Bill O’Reilly grilled Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio ...”
“Look, I don’t believe the American people support some sort of militaristic round-up of individuals, and I don’t think you could carry it out. The sort of tactics it would required would offend the American people,” Rubio said.
Compare that with Trump ...

Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.

Sure he knew it was coming. I doubt he thought it would come from Mitt Romney.
I must be in the minority of Americans. I don't think anyone should have to reveal their tax returns publicly, whether they are running for President or not, whether they are a Republican or not.
Tax returns fall into that "none of my business" category.
If I were put in his position, I'd say something to the effect that, "I make a lot of money. I pay as little as I can in taxes, same as every American. My returns are audited by the IRS, so that should give you assurance that they are properly filed."
Now, I do think that financial disclosure forms are important, as they reveal conflicts of interest. Tax returns don't do that.
