Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio both release their tax returns...

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have released their tax return information while both attacking Donald Trump, who refuses to release his.

On Saturday the Florida senator and the Texas senator made public up to fiver years previous tax information hoping to shame Trump into letting voters see his, too.

Rubio released summaries of five tax years Saturday and Cruz later released summaries of four years, from 2011 to 2014, according to NBC News.

Cruz accused Donald Trump of hiding his tax returns from voters during Sunday's broadcast of 'Face The Nation'.

Cruz said Trump could be hiding as many as five years-worth of returns.

'Trump said in the debate...'Gosh, I'm being audited, for two years'. Then he said 'three years'.

Then he said 'maybe five years'. Listen, if there's a problem in his taxes, the voters have a right to know,'

'Because come September, October, the general election, folks in the media are going to make a hayday about any problems in his taxes.

'And I think primary voters have a right to know,' Cruz said during the broadcast.

"Everyone" is being "mean" to Donald Trump.

Trump blames legal woes on 'Spanish' judge

.........."I believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine," Trump said. "He's Hispanic, which is fine."

Trump said his lawyers have not asked the judge to recuse himself, but might do so. The GOP front-runner did not say specifically why the judge should reccuse himself, leaving the impression he believes a Hispanic judge cannot objectively consider his case.".....

Wall Street Journal calls on Trump to release tax returns

"...The newspaper's conservative-leaning editorial board wrote Friday that Trump must prove he is as successful in the business world as he says he is.

.."One of Donald Trump's claims to presidential competence is his business and financial success, and so he should want voters to see the proof beyond the gilded staircases," they wrote. "He could enhance his credibility on the point by releasing his tax returns."

The Journal catalogued Trump's repeated dodges on the question of his tax returns. They noted that he said in January that "I have everything all approved," but said last week that the returns will still take several months.".................

We already know Rubio is Establishment....

Cruz = Trojan horse

Cruz is pretending he is outside the Establishment.

Cruz worked for George W. Bush Administration along with his wife.

He is WITH the Establishment.

Cruz’s is only there this election to siphon conservative votes from the non Establishment candidate. He was only there to help Jeb.

Remember Cruz worked for George W. Bush. It was Cruz who suggested John Roberts for the U.S. Supreme Court. Another Trojan that fooled most conservatives. Why has Cruz NEVER MENTIONED during his rallies, debates, etc.. that he and his wife worked in George W Bush Administration?

It was his wife that worked with Condi Rice to help make the case for the war in Iraq. It was his wife that helped negotiate U.S. China trade policy where we still pay tariffs and China does not. It’s where China is allowed to manipulate their currency to make it harder for us to sell them anything.

The country really does not know who Cruz was prior to the US senate run Gee who does that sound like????

This explains a lot and why I believe Ted Cruz is a Bush Trojan horse at a bare minimum.

Both Cruz and Rubio released a SUMMARY of their tax returns, NOT their tax returns! So calling on Trump to release his actual tax returns, especially in the midst of an audit, is not only STUPID, but patently ridiculous and hypocritical.

If he is being audited for two previous years, the IRS ussualy holds open prior years. If the two oldest years are audited then it makes sense 5 years are open for adjustment.his correcting himself also makes sense to me.

So now you are using the IRS to attack your enemies? I see you learned A LOT from Lois Lerner.

EIB, Feb 26, 2016: Cruz Exposed Trump's Biggest Weakness in a Race Against Hillary

RUSH: In terms of substance? I disagree with Chris Wallace. I think there was substance in this debate last night, and depending on what you want -- depending on what you were hoping to see and then what you think going forward -- there's really only one candidate in this debate last night which was chock-full of genuine policy-oriented substance, and that was Cruz. And I happen to know, folks...

I hear from people constantly, as you can imagine, and I hear from you even on the phones. But there have been people during the entirety of this campaign who think that Trump is a pretender, that he really doesn't know much about what all this is about, that he's getting by on the cult of celebrity and other things in our pop culture that people get excited by and attach to. There have been people who say, "We've gotta expose Trump. Trump's gotta be exposed. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't know conservatism.

"He doesn't know policy. He's just up there saying things that sound good in a populist sense." So what Cruz did last night was essentially expose that. If that's what you think needs and has needed to happen, Cruz did it last night. And probably the best way to illustrate how it happened is, one of the fears that a lot of anti-Trump people have is he's not really even a Republican. And they keep talking about all of his donations to people like Chuck Schumer and the Clintons.

Trump's response was, "Hey, look, you know, I live in New York City and they run the show there, and I'm in business, and there are certain things you have to do to get things done. You have to work with these people. But I'm a Republican." And he's made it clear, and he's tried to make that point over and over again. But Trump found last night Ted Cruz illustrating that. (summarized) "Look, if you think we have to beat Hillary Clinton, Trump's not the guy to do it. Trump cannot go out and hit Hillary Clinton on any of the things that she has done, any of her corruption, because he has contributed to her.

"He has donated. All that would have to happen," Cruz says, "is for Trump to hit Hillary in the debate and Hillary, and all she's gotta do is say, 'Donald, I don't know what your problem is. You donated to me to do this exact thing. So I don't know what your problem is now.'" And Cruz said, "We can't nominate somebody who donated to her." It's akin to the people that said we shouldn't nominate Romney. "If we nominate Romney, there's no way we can get Obama on Obamacare because Romney invented it in Massachusetts.

"Romney gave us Romneycare, and the guy that wrote Romneycare then turned around and wrote Obamacare," and it took Obamacare off the table as far as Romney's concerned. He couldn't hit it because there's a retort, "What do you mean you don't like Obamacare? You wrote its father. You implemented and signed into law its father, Romneycare. What are you?" And Cruz's point was that same set of circumstances with Hillary are going to occur.

Because it can be demonstrated that Trump's donations to the Clintons over the years -- including to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation -- have facilitated political move that Hillary Clinton has made. So the people who have wanted Trump exposed, that was pretty substantively done by Cruz.".....
