    Umm, yes you can. His forms are more complicated than mine, but based on my Schedule C (business expenses), the 8829 (business use of your home), and the 1040 itself, you can learn a great deal about me. So, I'm certain that with Mr. Trump's much more detailed documents, you can learn a great deal.

    The one thing I will say in his favor is that it COULD be easy to misinterpret certain things. Certainly, on what he deducts, it might show that after he deducts his business expenses, he pays very little. Is that wrong? Not as long as you're following IRS rules. However, many Americans who don't understand the deduction laws would think it was wrong. On that, I actually agree with some of our right-leaning posters- if he released his taxes, he would need someone to immediately be ready to explain some of the things that may look bad but really aren't.

    But for the other stuff, like how much he makes? That's more of his ego talking- and probably the #1 reason he doesn't want to release them.

    It's not r****ded, but the deliver is clunky and rehearsed. She is seemingly better when she's off script.

    these are two contemptible human beings, as is the electorate that chose them

    Did Trump really say he hasn't paid taxes because he's smart?!?


    Sound byte of the night. How can someone vote for a president that says that?!?

    Either her answers are rehearsed and prepared or her brain is "scanning for words." Which is it?

    Let's be real. This is probably the first time people watching this have heard it. No-one watches Clinton speeches willingly.

    Hillary needs to drop the mic on Donald's law and order nonsense by spitting out some record low crime statistics.
