Say what you want about JEB, he’s taking this seriously though

JEB announced he’s going to release 33 years of tax returns. Of course, this won’t stop the left wing pundits. “What about the 34th year , though? What are you hiding? Did you even pay taxes that year? I bet not . .. “

Remember when Harry Reid held press conferences in 2012 to assert that he "knew for a fact” that Romney hadn’t filed income taxes for several years? What a moron. If Romney hadn’t filed taxes, the IRS would have told Obama right away, and it would have become a campaign issue. Were the people of Nevada on drugs, to keep sending Reid to the Senate? Thank goodness Harry finally suffered a one round knockout while exercising his “Bowflex” over the holidays, and decided to end his career.

Back to JEB. Kudos for releasing ALL his tax returns. He previously released something like 25,000 emails – unedited – from his time as governor. I assume these were on the official/registered Florida email server, and none were deleted because they involved yoga routines or wedding plans.

The ball is now in Hillary’s court, regarding tax returns. Will she also release 33 years worth of documents? I’m guessing not. The first thing they would show is that her concept of “dirt poor” is having $5 million in the bank, plus expensive homes in Georgetown DC and New York state.

Hillary, since your campaign is going so poorly, as a free gift here’s my first draft of your explanation about why you’re only releasing a portion of your tax info.

“My tax returns are edited. This was done only to remove personal expenses related to my yoga clothes. Any allegations that I received gifts or donations from foreign dictators are a lie. But you’ll have to trust me. I had all those past returns shredded. The electronic copies were deleted from my hard drive, also. Then for good measure, the hard drive was shredded and incinerated. I plead guilty to being naïve about wanting the convenience of a single PC. But not to breaking any actual tax laws. Remember - vote for me, because if you’re a woman the republicans want to kill you.”

Not yet. JEB hasn't won his party's nomination yet and other GOP candidates might not be so forthcoming themselves.

so far JEB doesn't seem to be affording any of the other republican candidates even an acknowledgement that they are in the race.

that will come to an end when he appears onstage with 7 other guys in the first debate, however.

the republican mantra of "don't speak ill of any other republican" is being observed by Bush now, but will be tested during the debates.

I think that's a mistake too. Walker hasn't even officially declared as a candidate and he has been consistently outpolling JEB in Iowa. As this article points out,NH is ground zero for a buncha candidates and JEB isn't running away with anything there. Don't think JEB did himself any favors in SC last week either. The race is JEB's to lose.

actually, i DONT think its a mistake to refrain from continual attacks and outragous promises. Trump is testing the boundaries of the envelope, and getting hurt big time. But I'm not a trump fan anyway, so I could care less.

what i think is a mistake is their failure (all the candidates) to present clear, concise summations of their policies, if elected.
