What they should be releasing is some sort of indication that they're Natural Born Citizens. For Cruz, we haven't even seen a piece of paper that acknowledges that he is a US citizen.

It must exist, or he would not have given up his Canadian citizenship.

“What part of “professionals tell you not to release your tax returns while under audit” don’t you understand?”

Why would anyone release a tax return under audit may be subject to a change or correction? And why would you release them to a shark infested media before Super Tuesday? Thats not a smart thing to do strategically. Right? Unless your a moron who really doesnt have any goals of winning. There is nothing for him to gain by releasing his tax returns before a game/set/match election.

I want the Thorazine concession for Tuesday night and Wednesday.

I can’t wait to be “damned to Hell” in an opus or two.

Should be an epic night.

At least Cruz doesn’t support touchback amnesty. And why do you constantly defend a man supported by Bob Dole, Jimmy Carter, Scott Brown, Chris Christie and other liberal establishment politicians? And a serial adulterer? And a man who dumped two wives for mistresses? Sounds like you like men of real moral character.

Not only that, but it’s ok to weaponize the IRS, not only as a tool to beat down citizens, but as a campaign issue.

I’m treated daily to multiple threads saying “Trump supports Harry Reid! He’s a liberal!”.

Who of the remaining candidates are acting exactly like Harry Reid did when it comes to releasing tax info?

Why, GOPe Rubio and Saint Cruz the Impeccable, of course. Oh, and even though Saint Cruz the Impeccable is an outsider, he’s coordinating with GOPe Rubio on this attack.

Trump keeps exposing these “conservatives” for what they are at the core...more interested in retaining the status quo than building a wall, tax reform, protecting the second amendment and all the rest.

Trump inherited a $200 million company from daddy. It’s telling about the Trumpanzees that they actually deny this basic fact which anyone can verify in about 30 seconds via google.

Flat out lie... but some are born to be deceive and preach the deception.

>> The wealth envy, here, is amazing.

It’s rare that I see posts evidencing self-employment (and without secondary income and benefits from the spouse.)

Tell the truth, Trump cultist.

I can understand why Little Marco would go along with the DemoncRat Mantra of showing Tax Returns, but I am VERY disappointed that Ted Cruz would go along with this drivel.

Cruz is the only guy in the Race to ever get any of my money, but between his Campaign's glaring deficiencies, his embracing nut-so Glenn Beck and now his buying into this show me your Income Taxes crap that amounts to no more than a Circular Firing Squad, I'm about done.

His third place finishes to Little Marco isn't inspiring me much either.

Enough of this. Whoever gets the Republican Nomination gets my Vote. Time to unsubscribe from all the Cruz Emails I keep getting begging me for more money. $100 is my limit.

He's not hiding something. He's taking every legal tax deduction that is available to him because his legions of accountants and lawyers wade through our obscenely convoluted tax laws and find them for him

He has options most American don't because they can't afford to hire legions of accountants and lawyers. They just pay their taxes like sheep, which is the way the IRS and the government likes it.

What he does know is that the MSM will comb through those tax returns and act like he is a thief because he takes advantage of legal tax loop holes instead of being a fool and just paying what they deem he owes. Why give them months of ammunition? If he was doing anything illegal the IRS would have him in court already.

It sounds like you fantasize about Saul Alinsky.

Sweet dreams.

Trump is hiding something. Trump is a coward. Trumpists are cultists, bent on defending the serial adulterer to the end. He screwed his several wives. He will screw us. And butthurt Trumpists will love the butthurt.

Stop play God. You have no skills in that department... Ever heard of Solomon? God used him in spite of his worldly adulterous ways. Get off your high horse and face reality.

I disagree. I fully believe that once elected, he'll provide every student discounted tuition at Trump University.
