Romney's Hail Mary: There's a 'bombshell' in Trump's tax returns

** ... waiting to see if Trump attacks Romney

"Frankly, I think we have a good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes," the 2012 GOP nominee told Fox News on Wednesday.


"I think there's something there. Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay, or perhaps he hasn't been giving money to the vets or to the disabled like he's been telling us he's doing."

Romney said it's suspicious that every time Trump is asked abut his taxes, he "dodges" and "delays."

He added that Trump likes to "tell people how well he's done," but has not yet let people look at his taxes.

Didn't rMoney also dodge the tax question in 2012? Didn't he file an extension on his return so he could avoid revealing it until the last minute?

I totally forgot about Mittens. Last I heard from him he was spotted in La Jolla getting gas not long after the election. It made me think of another big name who lived in San Diego:

He can't help himself and probably hates Romney for some reason or another.

They trotted him out to protect Marco Rubio's nice guy image. But they didn't think about his dirty laundry, let's air it again!

Please proceed.

at the words "Bain Tenure" there, I thought it said BRAIN tenure. Of course, the "dubious" after it would fit either way, lol.

republicans just don't have any sense of irony. Or honor. Or decency. Or honesty....

I have someone I'd like to introduce to you. I believe the name is Kettle.

Good gravy, the irony is so thick I could cut it up and spread it over a whole stack of breakfast pancakes. Are these idiots really THAT clueless, with that little self-awareness? Or is it just plain unbridled arrogance, the kind that unlimited money can buy?

i guess there's still a faction of the establishment opposed to a straight-up Trump nomination that called him forth
"RELEASE THE ROMNEY"
hmm, doesn't seem so scary, not sure what the romney is supposed to do, but i'm hoping for a special-effects budget to kick in
