I'm just as disturbed that I haven't seen the media pick up on that detail yet. I was also disturbed about him not understanding the purpose or history of NATO, but that's nothing new. | ||

So you can't just write what Trump should say, you'd have to right what Trump would say. Can we debate using only emoticons? Moderator: Muslims? Trump:  Moderator: Blacks? Trump:  Moderator: Women? Trump:  Moderator: Foreign policy? Jobs? Education? Science? Other important subjects? Trump:   Moderator: Anything else? Trump:   User was warned for this post | ||

Hope people aren't surprised when it's used to mask making inequality worse in the long term. | ||

Hope people aren't surprised when it's used to mask making inequality worse in the long term. What would you do to bring in offshore tax dollars? | ||

Actually address the issue, instead of just saying you wish you could tax it at a fair rate and then arguing until it's decided that we're just going to give them a pass this time (like every other time). | ||

That makes perfect sense for something trump would say. | ||

How do you tax it at a fair rate when you have almost half of congress outright saying that under no circumstances whatsoever they will raise taxes. You can not unilaterally as president decide to tax people. | ||

On top of having no decency, the guy has no class. When confronted with his years of spreading birtherist craps, he immediately dodges responsibility and blames someone else. He's like a kid blaming his brother for a mischief he's done. It's fucking pathetic. | ||

Of course if the system is so silly that he could get away without paying taxes, why wouldn't he? But he's fighting to change that. Mostly everything was awful. Another awful moment was about the tax returns, he then says he will release them if Hillary releases her emails, and then the moderator asks if it's negotiable, and he says no, wtf Trump -__-. But yeah, just a rough rough time, curious to see how large of a shift in the polls it'll be. Imo it should be an easy 3 points, which would bring Trump chances for 45% to like 25% on 538, but we will see. | ||

He also said he "may" release his tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate back in 2011. http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2011/04/since-president-obama-released-his-birth-certificate-will-donald-trump-release-his-tax-returns.html But, now that he's admitted to paying no taxes and is proud of it, what does he have left to lose from releasing his returns? | ||
