Re: Campaign 2016 Part XIX: Escape from the Planet of Debates
Because it kills his whole "Hillary doesn't care about you because look at all of the jobs that have left" story. While they have been paying good money towards taxes, money they could have put towards retirement or college for their kids, money they have been paying so they get basic services like roads and schools, money they would happily pay as part of the social contract to provide for these basic services, he has been making 100x times them yet paying squat. It's one thing to make more money then them, more power to him if he can accomplish that, but then to pay nothing while they are sacrificing for it, when he wouldn't even notice the money gone, is something the Hillary campaign needs to hit and hit and hit again. If you get that message right, they don't care how much of a paper loss he took one year, he's still living in his solid gold condo and flying everywhere, yet they're still giving good things up to provide for the basic society we need to live in, and he's not paying a penny. His whole message is he will get back at the people living high of the hog while they work and get nowhere. If it looks like he's one of those people, then that basically kills the entire message of his campaign.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostI don't have to like it, but what Trump did was most likely legal. 1995 was a year where he was still operating under the terms of all the debt restructuring deals he made with his creditors in the early 90s, and he was under intense scrutiny at the time. When he made his final trip to bankruptcy court about a year later, the people auditing him admitted they had gone through all of his submissions with a fine-tooth comb, and couldn't find anything wrong with his financial statements, or any of the deals he had made.
Tax lawyers - gotta love 'em.
He doesn't want anyone to see the returns, because he knows the media will jump all over the narrative that he didn't pay any personal income taxes for almost 20 years (or longer). And that will lead to further investigations into his debt restructuring deals, thereby keeping the story of his bankruptcies in the news. In case you haven't figured it out by now, Trump doesn't like it when negative stories about him come out.

Re: Campaign 2016 Part XIX: Escape from the Planet of Debates
This could also apply to the emails and the pneumonia that featured Hillary.Originally posted by Handyman View Post
As for the latter part of my comment, if she just came out and said, "Yup, pneumonia. Trying to push through, but can't do it." Ok, cool. Crap happens. But she didn't. So what else is she going to try and hide?
Obviously playing a bit of devil's advocate here, and not trying to fully equate specific things. Just general "what is (candidate) willing to hide?"Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

This is happening now, and it's ****ing glorious: https://***********/hashtag/LastTime...Taxes?src=hash
My favorite: https://***********/casatino/status/782412832264577025 Oh 1996, what a funny year in retrospect. I was 13 at the time so I guess it felt normal. But in the rear view it was the most 90s year of the 90s, sort of a weird fever dream of a year that drifts farther and farther away ever year.Last edited by French Rage; 10-01-2016, 11:23 PM.
