[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hilarious witnessing the explosion of liberals’ heads over a press conference.  
I am literally laughing out loud.  So funny.  [/quote]

So we shouldn't care about what a presidential candidate says or does? WTF is wrong with you?[/quote]

At least he is having press conferences.

Hillary hasn’t had one in 235 days, and counting.

Not since the 1st Democratic debate, if memory serves.

Pretty pathetic.  [/quote]

It's irrelevant. She isn't good at press conferences, so why should she hurt her campaign by doing them?  It's a political calculation.  Thomas Jefferson was so bad at public speaking he gave the State of the Union in writing.  Maybe she should promise to do a press conference when Trump releases his tax returns.[/quote]

I guess that would be rationale for not having any press conferences if she is president ...... because he is not good at them. If you run for public office you need to be willing to go through the process of being vetted and questioned. Press conferences are part of that process whether one is good at them or not.[/quote]

So I take it you are adamant that Trump release his tax returns?  That's part of the vetting process too.[/quote]

I believe Trump should release his returns. But ultimately - say he refuses to do so using whatever excuse whether legitimate or not - on election day we can decide if his failure to do so is of sufficient importance that we deny him our vote.

To be honest, I think  he is pulling an “Obama” on this one. 
Remember how Obama would not release his birth certificate?  The press and the right made a huge deal about it. Trump even got in on the action.  
I believe Obama withheld it to make the right seem petty because after it was released, there was nothing to be seen.

I think Trump is doing the same thing.  Making a huge deal over something that will turn out to be a nothing burger.  [/quote]

Not the same at all. [b]Unlike tax returns, no other candidate had to release their birth certificate.[/b]  Even when he did release it, he was criticized because it was not the "long form,"  even though Hawaii does not release the long form to anyone, including the person himself.  State of Hawaii made a special exception to release the long form.

And Trump has no intention of releasing the tax forms. I promise you he will never release them. He doesn't want to go to jail.[/quote]

It is not a requirement to release tax returns as a candidate for the presidency.  [/quote]

No, merely precedent.  What other precedents will Trump not respect?  Is he going to continue to run his Trump businesses while in the Oval Office, including the new Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue?  The precedent is that presidents don't, but he isn't bound by precedent, obviously.  [/quote]
