So, building a wall, deporting all illegals and letting them back in if they apply and are admitted legally is now Touchback Amnesty? If that’s the case, sign me up!

As to Trump getting verbal or endorsement support from the three Republicans and one Democrat listed, I’m only familiar with the specifics on Dole and Christie. I’m not a big fan of either as Presidential candidates but the support is welcome. This is the big tent the Party has asked for since Reagan, I guess.

As to Trump and his family life? I’m not electing a spouse. I doubt any Trump supporter, sick and tired of the feckless GOPe, is going to care about his mistresses.

Hell, maybe Trump can overcome it like Ike did in the Fifties. I kind of think so, and Trump’s kids seem to have turned out fine.

Tell me again how Cruz using the IRS to bully an opponent is a good conservative thing?

I can’t imagine someone with a tax nightmare such as Trump, having much to do with the preparing of his tax papers other than choosing the cpa firm that does them

Trump originally started his business ventures with a $1 million LOAN from his father.

The $200 mil was inherited at his father's death.

LOL...you ARE just like Marco....telling us to google it!

Again....and I’ll say it real slow....

Trump. did. not. inherit. $200M. from. his. father.

Trump confirmed this, at his AR rally, today.

Here, hoosiermama explains it best....

That was the amount of entire estate Subtract taxes and then divide between the five siblings. By the time his father died he already owned much of Manhattan including the land under the Empire State building. He didn’t get there using his dad’s money

While in college, he actually bought and flipped property in PA, using borrowed money. He graduated with enough in the bank to start the Manhattan acquisitions. This between studies and going home on weekends to help his dad maintain his properties. Its called Work Ethic - something German Families pass down through the generations. So get off the silver spoon. The greatest gift his father gave him was how to negotiate a deal.

*******

Just because you keep repeating that lie, doesn’t make it true. So please stop. Enough of the class envy.

But Trump hasn’t even released summaries. What’s he afraid of?

He’s hiding something.

Considering the IRS has been giving Trump audits every year (for the past 4 years or so) , and that he has expert tax lawyers , hiding something would be almost impossible.

The MSM, the GOPe don't 'know' that there is something 'hidden'. It's the same old tactic of implying something, and letting a willing and gullible public suck it up.

It's like the Rubio Foam Party thing. One can imply that Rubio is a homosexual because he attended a foam party. It's really a private matter, and it's from before he was in office. It doesn't prove he's a homo. It's just the dirty laundry they use to sell you laundry detergent.

Wealth and Power are the stakes in this game (the election) and the closer it gets, the higher the crap is going to be piled. Those who have the POWER right now will not let go easily.

This solidly smacks down all the BS about Cruz being an outsider, Cruz being a good lawyer, and even Cruz being smart.

He obviously doesn't have the brains to realize that by going all in to help the GOPe he's just setting himself up to be the patsy the GOPe blames and tosses aside when they finally realize they have to take whatever sort of deal they can get from Trump.

You might want to consider Anger Management.

Or a good rehab center.

Releasing the 1040 and nothing else is akin to releasing nothing. Period.

Did you hear Trump speak to this, at his rally today, in AR? It was funny, actually. He said both his sister and brother called him after the rally, where Cabana boy accused him of this inheritance (wealth envy much?), and said...What? Dad never left that kind of money to each of us! LOL.

Trump's father died in 1999 at age 93. That's when Trump received the $200 mil. plus...

By that time, young Trump had already multiplied his worth many times over from the original $1 million LOAN from his father.

That’s how it works in wealthy circles. But you have to admit, he did more with what he inherited than anyone named Kennedy

“There is nothing for him to gain by releasing his tax returns before a game/set/match election.”

I understood Trump saying to voters he wanted to release his tax returns and that he would release his returns as soon as possible - and that could be before the elections.

Is there any reason why you believe Trump is not being honest and will purposefully delay until after the election? And, if so, which election? 2016 or 2020?

Stop with the touchback amnesty. The word is an invention.

It's part of the solution. You're trying to make it part of the problem.
