(14,157 posts)They are rigged. Hillary cheated by lobbying Ford and Carter to release their tax returns in 1976 so she could trap Sanders with it in 2016. The woman is devious. Has she no shame? Poor poor Bernie.

His only approach is to complain and complain. And since, he's done very little in his life, there is very little to criticize.

(30,481 posts)But a major candidate outside of Vermont he is not. He has ran an excellent campaign until recently in my opinion. But this should have been expected. He has found his activist roots from decades ago and is a protest candidate.
His tax returns are insignificant at this point. Let he and Jane keep their secrets. He lost.
Again, he lost.

(3,411 posts)Y'all gotta keep up. This 'call to taxes' has been drug out of the recycle pile so many times the last few days it's ridiculous. That was April. It's now June. And it has been shown for the lie it is every time a Clinton supporter hollers 'he hasn't released anything but a summary'. But you guys keep repeating it. Come on, you're not even pretending to try! Think harder, Maria!

"UPDATE: As he had promised, Sanders released his full 2014 tax return on April 15, 2016."
So where's those speech transcripts?
pnwmom
(108,978 posts)Hillary has released 30, but Bernie should release at least 5.
One is a joke.

(90,339 posts)"Sanders pledged during Thursday's heated debate with Clinton to release earlier returns at a later date. "
It's June, where are those earlier returns?

(7,638 posts)on those. I think she has been helping Senator Sanders do the taxes for months now. I suppose when she asks him a question tax related he goes into a foot stomping, fist shaking tirade about the 1%. Hard to get anything done with a one track program.

(27,995 posts)It's been over a month since he promised to release them. I wonder what's the hold up?
