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."

Romney is a liar. He said Trump inherited his business from his father. Romney knows Trump built his multi-billion business with a LOAN of $1 million from his father. Trump was worth billions before his father died.

Romney is a bald-faced liar.

This is dated... the 11th? How is this possible? Why is Romney still on this tax return BS after the nomination fight is basically over?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! STOP Romney, STOP! You’re killin’ us with your humor!! While you are at it try reading the CONSTITUTION Mitty! Get back to us on Fakebook with a post after you have read what the “qualifications” are to be President of the United States of America. Last I read there is nothing that disqualifies an individual that doesn’t pander to the democrat activists on Fakebook and in the national media outlets!

Willard is a vile POS who I’m glad didn’t get elected. But of course not glad at who eventually did.

And yes I voted for the bishop too.

This epitomizes the complete and utter failure of Republicans in recent presidential elections. They play the Left's game - Release your tax returns, or else we're going to demonize you as a rich, right-wing extremist. And right on cue, Republicans fall in line.

One of the biggest frustrating moments was when Bush - in the 2004 election, when he was already President, mind you - caved in to the demands of the screaming leftists to release his Air National Guard records, when he should have told these morons to go piss up a rope.

It's funny to see Mitt Romney saying basically the exact same nonsense Harry Reid said about him back in 2012, and to which he feigned outrage.

Romney is such a piece of crap.

“Trying to remain relevant”.

Romney has NEVER been relevant.

Because he is a Mormon bishop, he expects people to accept what
He says without question.

And I thought he’d want a full and accurate release of the Clinton Foundation books and emails.

Still going after Trump? Get over it Mitt, he won. Kinda like we did when you won in 2012. Besides, I’m sure someone in the IRS will leak them, if there is damaging info there.

Romney is a board member of The Cheap Labor Express, they simply cannot allow us to elect a President who enforces the borders and laws.

I don't know why Romney has such a hard-on to mess with Trump.

The Donald is doing what Mittens could never do: be a competent Presidential candidate.

Trump should not release his taxes. They are too big. Too complicated. And there is no way that the democrats and the media wouldn’t spend the next 6 months misrepresenting them.

That’s how Obama got elected. He kept making rich people release documents when he didn’t. Obama had no problem releasing his taxes, he had no taxes. But Trump has K9s, and LLCs. He has taxes in several foreign countries and several states. I had a smaller company and my tax returns were 2 inches think. I am sure Trumps are like an encyclopaedia.

IIRC, Romney only released his well after he was nominee when Reid repeatedly taunted him about it.
