Still waiting for him to exude his full TAX RETURNS. Any word on that? What's the delay? If the tax returns were complete enough to submit to the IRS, then they are complete enough to release to the American voters. No "polishing" or "adjusting" or "clarifying" or "fixing-up" or "fine-tuning" is necessary.
Everyone should play by the same rules. No special favors for anyone! No exceptions.
The American people have the right to know whether or not anyone running to be the "Leader of the Free World" has properly paid his taxes. We have the right for an honest, forthcoming, and COMPLETE release of his FULL tax returns for a period of TEN years so that we can confirm where the candidate's money is coming from, and where the candidate is investing or saving (ie: domestic or off-shore) and what the candidate and his/her spouse claims as "deductibles" or other assets.
We need to see EVERY candidate's tax returns BEFORE the primaries... so that we'll know whether or not he or she is honest and has the integrity to be our party's nominee.
It's complete BS for any candidate to think they're entitled to DELAY and not release their tax returns until they win the nomination. All I'm saying is that the American voters deserve better than the peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek delays and excuses.

He might be too old but if he is the nominee I will vote on him without hesitation.

He brought them to Bernie. He hasn't even brought himself to the party.

I'd love to see Bernie and Elizabeth together on the ticket. Would really shake things up.

What power does "Wall Street" have over the Democratic Primary? Or the selection of a VP? (nt)

It's not a good sign that they wouldn't commit to supporting the eventual Dem nominee
