Ashleigh Banfield "Present your long-form tax returns, Mr.Trump."

Banfield just ripped on Trump, long and hard.

After explaining that the accusations that Hillary or her campaign were responsible for birthirism are entirely FALSE; Banfield said (paraphrasing) "I'm just going to go there guys - It's kinda like saying, "I've been hearing on the internet from Uncle Louis in Florida that there's these things in his tax returns, now I''m not saying it's true but who knows? If he would just present the long-form tax returns, it would be over" - and I could take the credit for it! . . . Donald Trump help me. Help me help you and take credit for it. Present your long-form tax returns."

You could feel the white-hot embers through the screen. You could.

The tactic is to close the door on this and force the media to forget about it.

It's about time Trump gets hounded for his bullshit like they have been hounding Clinton.

Show your taxes, Donald.

I heard "Trump expected us to do an informercial for his new hotel today" on more than one network.

So one can nurture a faint hope. Maybe.

Sure, they didn't see a stage full of generals at his new hotel and figure it was going to be legit?

Many, many people are claiming that Donald Trump pays no taxes, and we can't prove them wrong.

He made up a story that he "heard from a reliable source" that Romney pays 0% tax and there was no option for Romney but release.

Why can't Reid or someone do the same thing. Say they heard from someone they really trust that Trump has Russian money or something like that, and force Trump's hand?
