    I'm not making this shit up out of thin air, as you are with some of your conclusions. Every news outlet is talking about the returns. Here are the facts: It has been customary for candidates to release their tax returns. The media and individual Americans are very interested in seeing what information is in those returns (even if you're not.) Trump has not released his tax returns and gives inconsistent replies when asked when and if he will.

    Why make charges if you don't have the nads to acknowledge the replies? Perhaps your conspiracy theories are just too ridiculous for you to support.

    So picture this scenario:

    We're in August and both campaigns have settled into a Hillary 54-Trump 46 scenario with likely voters splitting along those lines. The numbers actually suggest a Hillary landslide of close to 400 electoral votes as states that have not voted Democratic in nearly a generation like Arkansas and Indiana are now looking like possibilities for Hillary.

    However the number of voters who say they will not vote for either candidate is at a record level as 19% of the people surveyed claim they just won't vote or they'll vote for a protest candidate instead.

    Then a lightning bolt comes across the political landscape in the form of an intensified interview process over the E-mail issues as the FBI calls Hillary back in for a second interview a couple of weeks after the first one which was widely seen as the culmination of the probe at the time. Rumors begin to spread that the FBI wants to see Hillary indicted but is finding great resistance to the idea from the Justice Dept. Everybody sees the potential prosecution as a long drawn out affair with the FBI convinced the evidence is there and the prosecutors at Justice believing they probably have a draw on their hands if they take the case.

    Overnight Hillary's poll numbers drop as more voters move to the "I'm not voting for anybody" position. Now you have a state by state reading that is looking more like one of the W results than like one of the Obama elections.

    I think Trump could get elected with just a few minor changes in the perceptions between now and election day. I don't think he can improve his standing much but I think Hillary's position could erode significantly over the summer.

    Shit.

    I read the whole thing expecting some white knight to come charging in on his steed to save us all from the system and its two shills. Give a rewrite a shot, will you?

    You're not making this shit up out of thin air! Of course not, the media has latched onto the narrative that a really unsavory business man who has had many dealings with the gambling element doesn't want to show his likely dirty dealings publicly!

    Where you go wrong is in trying to portray this as a routine action for the past half century when I've already shown you to be wrong, which you chose not to respond to.

    You're fucking terrible at this.

    Where? And what part of your anatomy did you pull the "championing" of Clinton from?

    "The practice of releasing tax returns when running for office didn't become commonplace until the late 1960's, which is also when presidential candidates, and not just presidents, began to routinely release their income tax returns to the public. In the runup to the 1968 presidential election, George Romney, a governor of Michigan at the time, released 12 years of his tax returns from 1955-1966 after being pressed on the topic by reporters. This set the precedent for presidential candidates to release their tax returns and almost every president from Nixon onward has made their tax returns public. The only exception was Gerald Ford, who kept his tax returns private." - Efile.com

    "PolitiFact found only seven presidential or vice president candidates since 1976 have refused to release any tax returns. Romney is not among them, though he was in 2008. Those seven include five Republicans, one Democrat, and one Green Party: Jerry Brown, Pat Buchanan, Mike Huckabee, Steve Forbes, Rudy Giuliani, Richard Lugar, Ralph Nader." - MSNBC.com

    Note to abyzmul: These are called FACTS. Bloviate all you want to but all that shows is that you are a liar, or ignorant. Which is it?

    OBVIOUSLY!

    I mean, come on, this came from a site called POLITIFACT!!!

    Never mind that your article cites the stats that I provided and then proceeds to name a bunch of other events without citation. It's POLITIFACT!!

    Obviously these are facts that have been well researched and only a stand-up fellow like you would have found it.

    You are such a shabby opponent. I don't even care about political arguments but it doesn't matter, because you are helpless.

    You're the perfect Little Blocker.

    Presidential candidates have been releasing their tax returns since the British levied taxes on the colonies.

    Fact.

    Posted those fuckers right on FaceBook.

    Jesus released his tax returns when he became President of the United Jews of America.

    Science told me this.

    As I said, you got nothin'! It must be tough for a guy like you to deal with facts if they don't agree with your preconceived notions.

    That does not sound like facts.

    It's become obvious that you can't follow a single line of thought, so I've moved onto simulating your nerve endings like you would a jellyfish.

    I'm just trying to figure out if there is something resembling a brain behind your posts, or if it's just some kind of biochemistry trick that results in them displayed as the English language.

    Your vacation photos were photoshopped. You spent the entire time teaching Geno007 to type with more than two fingers.

    Your single line of thought seems to be thoughtless, except in the case of your conspiracy theories which incorporate the thought of accomplished crackpots.
    Tell us again about the moon landing movie studio, the US Navy downing TWA flight 800, and the FBI demolition bringing down the World Trade Center then get back to the bipartisan agreement to elect a "bull dyke."
