None to actually copy but millions to stall, deflect, ignore, play down and engage in whataboutism.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Highlight:

Sanders staffs up, still no timeline on tax returns [View all] TexasTowelie Mar 2019 OP

aren't those they same figures he claimed on the first DAY? ucrdem Mar 2019 #1

Bernie raise $6 million in the first 24 hours after he announced TCJ70 Mar 2019 #25

Your number is about what I remember, just over $6 million. nt Blue_true Mar 2019 #51

That's what his campaign said, but the FEC hasn't seen the numbers yet. George II Mar 2019 #75

The question was... TCJ70 Mar 2019 #82

The statement was: "Bernie raise $6 million in the first 24 hours after he announced" George II Mar 2019 #83

And then I linked an article stating it was the campaigns claim. TCJ70 Mar 2019 #87

He's had 3 years to sort this out, it's completely unacceptable. OnDoutside Mar 2019 #2

The 2016 election ended Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #11

He's always known he'd run again. Ergo... three years to "find" his "missing" taxes and "fix" them. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #19

Taxes enid602 Mar 2019 #99

Funny! Or... he fainted when Jane said "I found the tax returns!" NurseJackie Mar 2019 #102

Yes, and............? George II Mar 2019 #21

He never stopped running... comradebillyboy Mar 2019 #38

And knew all that time that the taxes would indeed be requested again. (nt) ehrnst Mar 2019 #39

2016 kept going? Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #100

This has nothing to do with the 2016 election. He knows this is a major issue for the OnDoutside Mar 2019 #47

He said he will release ten years worth of tax returns Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #49

He said he would release them before the last convention; he didn't. His honesty is the issue. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2019 #52

Again, you are stuck in 2016 Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #54

So what? He has said it before, and there's no reason to be live him. LongtimeAZDem Mar 2019 #68

"Sanders is the only candidate in history that this is demanded of." No he isn't. George II Mar 2019 #73

Well it actually ended in March MyNameGoesHere Mar 2019 #101

Sorry but that's silly to say it's a non-issue because he says he'll release them... Drunken Irishman Mar 2019 #60

Same song, different year. George II Mar 2019 #74

Yeah and Trump said he'd release his right after the audit was over. Saying and doing are different. dem4decades Mar 2019 #104

It has everything to do with 2016 Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #53

That was a separate issue. You can't accuse trump for not releasing his taxes and OnDoutside Mar 2019 #71

No he didn't. He stopped campaigning when he lost the nomination. Remember Jeff Weaver in Jul 2016? George II Mar 2019 #77

Yep, and we still haven't seen what he promised. We did see one 2-year old return (2014).... George II Mar 2019 #76

Hmmm? Where have Cha Mar 2019 #3

Good point, same old games, different year. Blue_true Mar 2019 #56

Working on it? Mike Nelson Mar 2019 #4

Any redactions beyond Bernie's and Jane's social security numbers TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #5

lol Cha Mar 2019 #6

You should prepare to yawn Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #50

Honest question: If this is true, why doesn't he just get this over with and show them? lunamagica Mar 2019 #55

He should not react to conspiracy theories Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #57

Conspiracy theories? Seriously? All he is asked is to show his full tax retuns for the past ten lunamagica Mar 2019 #61

The conspiracy theory is that he's intentionally hiding them Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #62

why do you think he hasn't released them yet? lunamagica Mar 2019 #63

Why isn't this being demanded of Kamala Harris? Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #65

Sanders has promised to release them for years, and he hasn't. lunamagica Mar 2019 #66

Because she has a track record of releasing her taxes FreeState Mar 2019 #95

She released one, just like Sanders Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #97

He could easily resolve your so-called "conspiracy theory" by releasing his tax returns immediately. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #67

Low-level clerk's dog ate them dalton99a Mar 2019 #69

I can lay my hands on 7 years of returns in five minutes. ehrnst Mar 2019 #84

I have 15 of my last 18, found them in seconds on my computer (and I have backups, too) George II Mar 2019 #106

+1000! mcar Mar 2019 #92

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have ONE thing to say... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #107

"React"? He's had years to prepare for this. For perspective, Elizabeth Warren released 10 years.. George II Mar 2019 #72

Warren's really the Senate leader in advocacy of economic justice and financial transparency. ehrnst Mar 2019 #85

Working on it doesn't make sense. NT WeekiWater Mar 2019 #7

It's been over two weeks since Bernie said it would be "soon". TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #9

For perspective, Elizabeth Warren released tax returns for 10 years back in AUGUST.... George II Mar 2019 #26

These are not the taxes you are looking for.. Amimnoch Mar 2019 #8

He's playing that game again. LiberalBrooke Mar 2019 #10

He has already said he would release ten Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #12

What other candidates have promised them for years? Including saying "Soon" weeks ago. ehrnst Mar 2019 #15

So you're still stuck on 2016 primaries Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #58

But promises made 3 years ago that weren't kept raises a red flag for many. George II Mar 2019 #78

Yep. ehrnst Mar 2019 #80

He released one, didn't make it to the general, so it was over Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #88

You've got that chronology wrong, but whatever. George II Mar 2019 #91

He knew that his tax returns would be requested, for two years. ehrnst Mar 2019 #79

See post #26. And saying isn't doing. George II Mar 2019 #27

"Said he would" is different from "has done", and there is no good reason for delay JHB Mar 2019 #41

Sorry, but no rec: Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #13

So why respond and kick the OP? (nt) ehrnst Mar 2019 #14

Because I'm making a point... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #16

And increasing the visibility of the post that you wish wasn't posted. ehrnst Mar 2019 #17

Apparently, you failed to click the link in my post... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #18

I did, and you have once again kicked the OP that you don't like. ehrnst Mar 2019 #22

...and you apparently disagree with my suggestion (kick) Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #24

I read it, and clearly don't agree with it. ehrnst Mar 2019 #28

How is bashing other Democratic (and those who caucus with us) candidates constructive? Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #29

I think you may have a different definition of 'bashing" than DU does. ehrnst Mar 2019 #30

So what? MrsCoffee Mar 2019 #31

I respect how you feel, TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #34

I certainly didn't say you can't post something... Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #35

I post articles about all candidates whether they are positive, negative or neutral. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #43

Fair enough. But, Bernie did release his tax returns last cycle: Dennis Donovan Mar 2019 #44

He released one year of tax returns and initially didn't release a complete return for that year. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #45

BS is never going to release his tax returns. If BS had any intention of releasing them... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #20

Makes sense. ehrnst Mar 2019 #23

I can't trust any candidate or politician who isn't forthcoming regarding his (or her) tax returns. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #32

Especially if a candidate has known for years that their returns would be expected as POTUS nominee ehrnst Mar 2019 #33

In over a quarter century, Sanders has released two 1040s, Hortensis Mar 2019 #36

Absolutely a hypocrite Skidmore Mar 2019 #42

But zealously consistent. I don't ever expect him to Hortensis Mar 2019 #46

That's all I'm seeing. I could never support someone like that. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #64

+1000. (nt) ehrnst Mar 2019 #81

This is getting to be like an over-long production of "Waiting for Godot". greatauntoftriplets Mar 2019 #40

You can imagine the ads are writing themselves. I thought it was a prerequisite to OnDoutside Mar 2019 #48

I will not vote for any candidate in the primary who has not released their taxes. redstatebluegirl Mar 2019 #59

Working on what? mcar Mar 2019 #70

How about everyone else's? shanny Mar 2019 #86

More whataboutism. nt TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #90

lol TT shanny Mar 2019 #96

Is that the best you can do? TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #98

Personally, I couldnt care less... VarryOn Mar 2019 #94

Could you please release Kamala Harris' return release timeline for us? Mr Tibbs Mar 2019 #89

I'll trade you Kamala's for Bernie's. TexasTowelie Mar 2019 #93

How many revolutionaries does it take forklift Mar 2019 #103

I'll start ... forklift Mar 2019 #105
