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."

This damned loser Romney did not release his tax return until September 2012! Now it’s only May.

Gov. Romney:

In 2008 I voted for you in the primary because at the time you seemed the most conservative of the candidates, even though you were not my first choice for President.


Yeah, Romney’s tantruming behavior here is a much bigger story than Trump taxes. He’s spitting in the faces of millions who voted for him. What an ungrateful POS.

Does the Constitution say anything about tax returns being a requirement for President? no it does NOT. It talks about Natural born citizenship and minimum age and possibly a couple other basic requirements. That’s all.

You don’t tell us who is eligible, Romney! go away! And never come back loser!

you can bet Ryan feels the same


You can bet the timing of Mitten’s latest tantrum is not random. He dropped this one in punch bowl right before Trump’s meeting with Ryan intentionally.

I hadn’t heard the story of Mitt and a mistress, so I looked it up. This is what I found:

Does anyone here know this story? Can anything be proved or disproved?

But refusing to release your U.S. citizenship verification documents is not?

Is Mitt deteriorating before our eyes, or was he always this foolishly screwed up, but it was harder to notice before (at least for me)?

Mittens, who couldn’t seem to take his mittens off to defeat a down for the count vulnerable Obama, and who is working voraciously to elect K. Hillary or C. Bernie, cannot believe that someone can accumulate 50 times more wealth than he himself has, without ripping off the “47%’rs.”

Is it possible that Romney is still looking to be the nominee? This tirade makes no sense at this point in time.

A house cat could have beaten Obama in 2012, and instead Romney lost, because he BLEW IT...

My three house cats concur and they all agree Mitt is about as useful as a hairball.

Mitt is really obsessing over Trump’s success like he’s suffering from some mental disorder. He’s apparently so envious and jealous that he’s trying and trying to damage Trump’s candidacy. Beyond pathetic and despicable.

Candidates are not required to release tax returns. Sometimes, it’s better to let some voters draw an inference about why a candidate refuses than to let those voters see too much about personal finances. Only the candidate can weigh the pluses and minuses because he knows better than anyone what is in the returns.
