Romney: Trump's refusal to release tax returns is 'disqualifying'
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/11/16 | GABBY MORRONGIELLO

Posted on 05/11/2016 2:59:49 PM PDT by Grim

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney blasted Donald Trump on Wednesday after his successor hinted that it is unlikely he will release his tax returns before the November election.

"It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service," Romney wrote in Facebook post.

"There is only one logical explanation for Mr. Trump's refusal to release his returns," he wrote Wednesday. "There is a bombshell in them. Given Mr. Trump's equanimity with other flaws in his history, we can only assume it's a bombshell of unusual size."

The reason why Romney wants Trump to lose so badly is because if Trump loses, it doesn’t make Romney look as much of a douche as he did in 2012. A house cat could have beaten Obama in 2012, and instead Romney lost, because he BLEW IT

Gov. Romney:

In 2008 I voted for you in the primary because at the time you seemed the most conservative of the candidates, even though you were not my first choice for President.

In 2012 I voted for you in the general election, even though you had some views that were not all that different from President Obama’s, because I did not want to experience a second Obama term.

In 2016, you may think that it is OK to act and speak in a manner that would ensure the destruction of this nation under the Queen Jezebel of our time, Hillary Clinton, but I don’t.

I supported you twice when I was not happy with the choice. You can support someone else once whom you are not happy with, for the sake of protecting the future of America from the woman who would destroy it for the sake of her own dark legacy.

If that is too polite, I will speak plainly.

SHUT UP. NOW. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT UNTIL AT LEAST THANKSGIVING. WE DO NOT WANT YOU, AND WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOU.

Sincerely,
those who love America

I think Romney has things to hide. He’s way too invested in this.

Romney is an ass.

Trump has said he will release it all once the audit is finished. If Romney doesn't understand this, it's because he doesn't want to.

The Republican Establishment has committed political suicide. Good riddance!

Mittens may want to talk to his tax lawyer.

Romney is a charter member of the uniparty and is working to elect Hillary with all of his shriveled little soul. He need to be treated as the enemy agent that he is.

Stating this BS like it is fact...adding requirements for being eligible for President, yet he said not one word regarding Obama’s eligibility.

What a jealous, petty loser!

I was mad the first time Romney spouted this nonsense. Now I think it’s hilarious that Romney thinks anybody cares what his opinion is.

He’s still running harder against Republicans than he ever ran against a Democrat. What a jerk.

THERE IS NO LAW THAT REQUIRES A RELEASE OF TAX RETURNS!!! You only have to file a financial disclosure - and that is so when you become president there is no conflict of interest with business dealings which would go into a trust.

I think the real truth is that this indicates Romney is still considering a third party run and is testing the waters.

BS. Do we really need to see Trump’s tax returns? NO! And, anyway, as he is under audit, seems reasonable to withhold them. This is a non-story pushed by a loser.

Romney,

Harry Reid lied about your returns, claiming you had paid no taxes for the past 10 years. He was careful to do it from the Senate floor, because he's exempt from prosecution for libel while speaking there.

Now, you are doing effectively the same thing. Are you a better man than Reid? If so, STFU and demonstrate it.
