Romney: Reason to believe there's a bombshell in Trump's taxes

[Freewill]

Romney is a progressive ass and his trying to make this an issue proves it.

Better now when the repubs can pick someone else. Trump will be destroyed if he is the candidate.

For at least 3 months now Trump's destruction has been predicted. They said he didn't have the organization. They said he didn't have the campaign experience. They said evangelicals would turn on him. NONE of that has come to pass. I don't think anyone would be surprised if he didn't pay much in taxes, is that the meme of the liberal left. If it has something to do with charitable donation, Obama and Biden sure were tightwads and no one seem to give a crap.

Romney is breaking the Reagan rule and he is doing it for the establishment. I no longer feel bad he lost. I can thank him for that.

 

[Pogo]

The guy has built an empire worth billions.

---- according to his own word, which we all know is more than a little bit shaky.

Perhaps that's the "bombshell" to which Romney refers, though it isn't new info.

This is just another way to try and bully him. Worked on a pussy like Romney, but its not going to happen with Trump.

I hate to break this to ya but Chief Executing ain't about pussification and who's got the bigger balls. To the extent anyone actually votes on such a basis ---- we's in deep doodoo.

Bottom line...you can't get pushed around. Look how Romney got punched around by the Dems and Obama. Never once stood up for himself. He got rolled and look what happened. He got beat soundly. Weakness Pogo. The leader of the free world must exude strength.... which is no doubt missing with Obama. Obama is a nice man and I like him as a person but he doesn't exactly come across as a Commander in Chief.

Again, emotional what-a-man swooning is irrelevant to the Process. Even if it works for Vlad the Imputiner.

What is relevant is the vindictive pattern. Let's go to a real conservative source:

>> ...Trump tweeted recently a version of his “don’t mess with me” mantra, summing up his modus operandi very concisely: “I’m very proud of this record. Wouldn’t this be good to have for the U.S.? Every person’s that attacked me has gone down.” For The Donald it’s don’t get mad, get even.

The latest target of Trump wrath is the Ricketts family, the new owners of the Chicago Cubs who have transformed the lovable losers into genuine contenders. They also are active politically and that has put them on the Trump enemies list. As USA Today reports:

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, isn't happy that a member of the prominent Ricketts family has bankrolled an effort to thwart his campaign. And he took to Twitter on Monday to warn the Chicago Cubs owners to "be careful."

The family is "secretly spending $'s against me," Trump wrote. "They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!"

... Trump's tweet prompted National Review editor Rich Lowry to question whether the billionaire "already has an enemies list and is this the man we want in charge of the IRS?"​

Indeed, would a vindictive President Trump target the Ricketts family and others like them just as President Obama used the IRS to target the Tea Party movement for its political opposition? “Better be careful” is a threat.

... There has been a double standard in the media regarding its treatment of Donald Trump. Maybe because they fear his predisposition to file a lawsuit such as the one he threatened to file against Cruz for running an ad showing actual footage of a pro-choice Trump supporting partial birth abortion. Trump said that was long ago and claimed his position has shifted even though he still supports funding of Planned Parenthood. Yet he said what he said and in politics your past statements are fair game.

.... Trump has called Cruz “unstable” and a “liar” yet witness the tantrums Trump throws when you make the mistake of publicly quoting his actual record. In a recent debate, Trump said he backed off from taking Vera Coking’s home though eminent domain so he could build a limousine parking lot for one of his casinos. The fact is, a court made him back off, saying that eminent domain was intended for public use not to transfer property from one private owner to another. AS the UK Guardian noted:

So what he claimed in the debate was, er... a lie. <<


..... Indeed. One of a countless stream of them, which includes this fantasy of what he thinks he's worth.​

I hope Trump refuses to release them. His statement on the issue should be as follows:

"I've decided not to release them. Don't like it? Get over it, I don't cave into left wing tactics like Romney did. Thank you."

When did people not care about the monied interests of the person applying for the most powerful job in the world? You guys have officially lost it

Same reason I didn't want Romney to cave. They pay(paid) their taxes and that's good enough. Nobody is obligated to disclose their tax returns because people want to bully them into doing so. Fuck that. All the more reason NOT to do it. Bully some other poor sucker.....

Yeah I understand you reason why. I thought I made that clear. You've obviously lost it. Because if you think someones investments have nothing to do with the way they will govern then I have a nice bridge to sell you at a discount

The guy has built an empire worth billions. That not good enough?

Good enough for what? To be President? No. Just because someone built an empire doesnt mean they know how to govern

Once you see his tax returns what's next? His underwear drawer? Stop with the nonsense.

When has anyones underwear drawer been part of the process? Never...So your defense is to delve into the ridiculous

Trump is one if the most successful real estate developers in the world. You don't get there by carrying debt out the ass and swimming in unpaid taxes.

This is just another way to try and bully him. Worked on a pussy like Romney, but its not going to happen with Trump.

We get it, he develop real estate. But you cant seem to state why thats important to be president. Just repeating it means nothing.

His background makes him infinitely more qualified then a community organizer or a career politician of little or no accomplishments.

 

[Super_Lantern]

To the people arguing it was only the left going after Romney, the GOP, Gingrich, and Santorum were pressuring Mitt as well. It was a major issue for his campaign and it's ridiculous that not just Trump, but Cruz and Rubio, as well are getting a free pass from GOP voters THIS time around on tax returns

It's a miracle Romney did as well as he did. GOP voters didn't want a moderate leader and they let Mitt know that. Now the GOP is letting the United States (and the rest of the world) know they want a liberal reality tv star.

Good going, gang

Trump has any protection from the Reagan rule? roflmao

What a conservative warrior! Finally, no more moderates! These conservative tough guys are going with a real conservative this time around

No it doesnt. Again simple assertions are not a substitution for explanations

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Because Trump looks somewhat Arabic we can't check for any bombshells in his taxes.
Because Obama took his time in releasing his documents Trump can take three years to release his. Obama set a precedent on that.
Because the only person's records we are actually going to check is Trumps the entire process seems unfair.

I'm expecting liberals to line up and vote for him since he is pro-choice.

Romney hit the nail on the head which I've been saying here for two days....we want to see Trump's 2013 and 2014 tax returns....What's the holdup...didn't he file? Is he pulling a Warren Buffet and not paying or has he offshored his corporations? No charitable donations to Vet groups? OR maybe he ain't a billionaire at all, much less times ten.

I'm onboard the #taxreturner movement

You can't piss and moan about President Obama's birth certificate for 8 years and then opt out of something like this

 

[mudwhistle]

I heard Romney doesn't pay any taxes.

The guy hates women so much he carries binders full of them.

He mistreated the family dog too.

And yes, he murdered some guy's wife.

All of the above is true.....cuz Democrats said so.

 

[Katzndogz]

Romney is trying to do to Trump what Harry Reid did to him.

 

[bendog]

What explanation have you offered? That is the point. All you have is assertions of what a guy who's now against every position he ever held, besides making money for himself, is now the guy who'll make America great again.

And we already are great.

I love it. If the Democrats and the Liberals on USMB respect their own polling and continue to preach that Hillary will easily defeat Donald Trump, why in the hell are they starting one thread after another on USMB trying to smear Trump. Common sense would dictate that they would want Trump to win the Republican nomination were that truly the case. Are the Liberals on USMB totally stupid or are they actually scared shitless?

No, what you're seeing are former liberals waking up to the scam and finding Rubio a palatable choice for the next four years. And isn't that what we've been trying to accomplish since Reagan did it?

 

[HenryBHough]

Both parties are very much opposed to Trump.

It's only the voting population showing him so much support.

How many votes to "the parties" get to cast in November?
