that his supporters don't give a damn about his taxes or his ties to Russia/Putin, because they give new meaning to 'low information voters'. They hear him talking about 'economic ties with Russia' and "isn't it better to be friends with Russia, working with them and opening new markets than working against them?" Those voters wouldn't know what to look for in a tax return, since many of them use a 1040EZ. Those of us who would look already know there isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that we would vote for the guy anyway. So, at this point, there is no upside to Trump's releasing his tax returns and a major downside. Conversely, there is no downside to not releasing his returns, since the only ones calling for it aren't voting for him anyway.

Go after him for his cheating workers out of their pay. Stiffing contractors. Paying less than minimum wage. Using undocumented workers instead of hiring citizens. Hit him, as HFA already has about his misogyny, the lawsuits against him, his bankruptcies. I mean, really, who can't make money from a casino for crying out lout. A casino is a license to print money! And how about the fact that he is being sued for raping a minor?

Don't worry about his taxes.

There are just not enough resources in the world to re-educate some people , and they also lack the brain spark to ever learn from mistakes.

This ad isn't written for them, alas.
