You miss my point I guess, he can’t do that so it’s probably BS.

The second sentence contains an untruth: “conservative- leaning”. The WSJ WAS conservative-leaning once upon a time. But since Murdoch took it over, that’s no longer the case.

If it said “Trump-despising” or “cheap labor, open borders promoting” it would be much more accurate. IMHO. This salivating for a look at Trump’s tax returns is just the latest desperate grasp for some kind, any kind of a straw.

“Can anyone say Trump is dodging the release of his tax returns?”
Even though neither Obama or Cruz will release their records or their mothers’ records that are certainly germane to their eligibility to hold the office, but Trump is expected to `hop to it’ to satisfy the Republican establishment Urinal?
He’ll release non-germane records if he chooses to do so, and when he chooses, possibly when he’s disposed of the pretenders and is facing a non-GOP-e `rat—for the win.
If you were to ask Trump, “Are you dodging anything?” I suppose he might say to you, “Go eff yourself.”

OK, that’s fair. Every candidate should.

Agreed, but the WSJ only called for Trumps returns.

Has anybody seen any of his college transcripts with all these good grades he claims he made, you know, really, really good grades. Or did they make it to the same sippy hole Obama’s made it to?

Clinton and Sanders have both released their tax returns, as has Bush.

It's customary for candidates to do so. That you believe that asking a billionaire front-runner to do so is somehow unreasonable just shows how paranoid the Trump supporters are.

I really want to see Trump's returns from before he decided to run. Want to bet that he was one of the worst "offenders" of tax "avoidance"?

Note that I, a Trump foe, would have no trouble with that, so long as he's keeping legal. But I bet that Trump's supporters (other than the cultists) would abandon him if this was true.

One thing's for sure: if Trump's returns are embarassing, this administration will leak them once Trump has cinched the nomination. So Trump might as well "come clean" now.

Can YOU explain why no one in the MSM is demanding the release of Hillary and Bernie's own returns?

Why do you find it necessary to align yourself with the MSM and attempt to take down our own candidates when you and the MSM are giving Sanders and Clinton a pass?

It's incredible how stupid the members of our own party have become............
