We have both agreed that politics is dirty.

You keep trying to change the topic from what democrats do to force out tax return information.
I would also consider that the attempt to suppress voting rights based on political affiliation and/race to be far more reprehensible."It ain't necessarily so

I keep pointing out that the Republicans have no justification for criticising actions by the Democrats. Both sides have engaged in dirty tricks.

I am merely pointing out that neither side is squeaky clean. You appear reluctant to acknowledge that fact. And, as I wrote earlier, preventing citizens from voting by removing their names from the electoral register strikes me as far more reprehensible.

Re-read my post, re-read your reply. Adjust so that your response actually makes sense with what's written.
And my answer was: "The answer is yes, every candidate for a long time now."
I'm sorry, I didn't notice they "why". Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates have released their tax turns for a long time now. It's disingenuous of you to ignore that fact. And you're welcome, I'm happy to spell that out for you. Perhaps you could now adjust your reply accordingly, since the intent of my answer is now obvious."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ.

One thing he was hiding was that this $20 million gift to charity never happened.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ft-even-exist/
Article dates from 2016 and has embedded video of the announcement with Trump present.
Last October, at a rally in Las Vegas, a friend of Donald Trump's introduced the mogul-turned-candidate with a story about Trump's generosity.
"You won’t hear this in the media, but Donald gave $20 million to the St. Jude children’s home. Twenty million dollars," said Phil Ruffin, the owner of the Treasure Island casino, which was the site of the rally.
The crowd cheered. Trump mouthed "Thank you" twice and waved.
"He could have used that $20 million for television ads, but he decided to give with children with cancer," Ruffin said. "That’s Donald Trump."
And I agree. His gift to St. Jude's does embody Donald Trump -- stolen valor.

America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.
