The Clinton campaign is launching a new TV ad today to attack Trump for refusing to release his tax returns

August 18 at 8:41 AM

It opens with a clip of him saying he’d “absolutely” release the returns if he ran for president. Then then are clips of him saying it’s none of your business when asked his tax rate, George Will floating that he doesn’t want to release the records because they show close ties to Russian oligarchs and Mitt Romney suggesting that he’s hiding a bombshell.

The spot will run on national cable. Clinton released her returns last week. Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) wrote an op-ed on Monday warning that Trump will lose his support if he doesn’t release the returns.

As part of the coordinated push to hammer this message, Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden (Ore.) and Chris Murphy (Conn.) will hold a conference call in a few hours to demand an up-or-down vote on their bill, “the Presidential Tax Transparency Act,” which would require all major party nominees to release their tax returns.

Watch the new Clinton ad:

Hey! That's great they've got ole mitt in the ad, it was his father who started this whole silly thing about candidates releasing their tax returns. George Romney was the first fool to do this. He lost. Mitt, his son lost, too.

STOP LISTENING TO LOSERS!!

Americans will be more than satisfied with candidates who simply follow the law. There is no law that requires the release of tax returns to run for office, nor should there be. There ARE laws that protect the privacy of tax returns and those laws should be respected.

The decision to release or not release is a personal decision and whatever that decision is, Americans should respect it.

If the Clintons had been as diligent with our laws as they were with their tax returns we'd be in a much better situation. Give me comply with and enforce our laws and keep your tax returns in your file cabinet where they belong.

Boring! Where are Hillary's medical records? A healthy president is much more important than this nonsense.

I'd rather see the 33,000 emails and an audit of the Clinton Foundation.

WHERE ARE THE ANTI-HILLARY ADS FROM TRUMP? Failure to run attack ads early on caused Romney to loose the election because attack ads against him went without a response and Obama was able to create a negative image in voters minds early on. By the time Romney finally responded with ads of his own it was last minute and voters had already made up their minds against him. And don't forget about early voters.

If Trump waits too long he is going to hurt himself very badly. SOMEBODY PLEASE GET TO TRUMP'S ADVISORS AND TELL THEM TO START RUNNING ANTI-HILLARY ADS!!
