Um, my post was a criticism of Trump, not Nixon.

Talk about missing the point lol.
I am stating that Nixon didn't release his because it wasn't party policy so comparing him to Trump is effectively apples v oranges.

Nixon - didn't release it, wasn't obligated to
Trump - hasn't released it, is obligated to due to the McCain/Romney precedent.

Nixon was a shit bloke for a lot of reasons. The point being the length of time between then and now. ie, it's been a long time since a candidate refused. I am not directly comparing the two candidates in the way you imply.

Get it now?

Nixon didn't refuse, it was not a republican policy by then. It wasn't a republican policy until Romney made it one in 1968.

Do you get it now?

You can't be ****ing serious lol.

Can someone please explain it to our dim-witted friend here.
You could actually follow what I am saying instead of calling me an idiot.

Nixon could have produced his tax return in 1964 but it wasn't a republican policy to publish your tax return back then. It only became republican policy after 1968 after George Romney started it.

You imply a negative connotation that Trump is like Nixon because Nixon didn't produce his either. The point is that Nixon was never asked to provide his so he could have never refused in the first place. Trump has been asked to produced his but hasn't.

It is a pretty easy difference to spot.

Nooooooooooooo.

OK, you're confused obviously. Let me simplify.

Forget Nixon. Nixon is irrelevant. Maybe Guy Smiley is running... whatevas.

The point is:

Trump will be the last person to not hand in tax returns since 1968 (which was the year Nixon/Guy Smiley was running).

That's as simple as I can make it.

Crooked Hillary lost 6 points in the last month, Trump gained 4 points. Extrapolating this trend until the November election, we're looking at a YUUUGE landslide victory to God Emperor Trump!!

To be fair, Trump is presumptive nominee of his party and Clinton is still battling it out with Sanders. But the dems are destroying themselves.

Any word on a possible third party run by Romney?
