Harry Enten thinks he has a real chance? Congrats, Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders!

Bernie stutters and stammers his way through why he STILL hasn't released his tax returns. Using the same verbiage from 2016 so this is obviously rehearsed.



He had the time to write 2 whole books since 2016 ...but he didn’t have the time to get his taxes ready? Lol

Thing is, this doesn't disqualify someone, as much as you wish it did. Has he erred? Yes. Does it automatically make him the worst person alive like you're implying it is? No.

You can't demand Trump release his tax returns but not demand the same of Sanders. With that said if the rest of the field does so without any issue then it does look bad. I don't think he's done anything illegal, but I do think he wants to hide exactly how much his income really is because he wants to give the illusion that he's destitute.

Thing is, I never demanded Trump release his tax returns. Why? Because there's a million better things to go after him on.

He's releasing the last 10 years. He already released his 2014 returns.

1. I didn't imply he was the worst person alive.
2. I didn't say this was going to end his campaign.
3. LOL. If this was ANYONE else yall would have skewered them, fired up the barbecue, and put an apple in their mouth. I see the purist demands of transparency end when it comes to your favorite candidate.

40% of Bernie's donors are new people. Where are these new people coming from? Are these young people who were nor eligible to vote last time ?

I thought it was more about getting most of his 2016 voters. It will be very interesting to get a geographical & demographic breakup of his donors. The number of new donors is shocking.

If Trump cheated on his taxes that is a crime that should be punished. I didn't single anyone out with my comment, I was just pointing out that there has to be consistency on tax returns.

From what I've read he says that his wife can't find the records, so nothing is set for release. He wasn't transparent enough about this last time. One year of returns is not enough.

Don't be gentle when you've tried to smear Sanders with every bit of news you can find.

Does being Bernie’s personal buttwiper pay you well enough to get a green card?

The tax return thing is not a great look for Sanders, just like we can say that the DNA thing was bad for Warren.  It's okay for Sanders supporters to admit that.

Still clearly the two best candidates, just like Hillary's email thing and wall street speeches were not great but she was obviously still a million billion times better than Trump.

Only Warren has released any tax returns this cycle, so it's absurd to attack Bernie for not having released them yet.

He should have released them four years ago. If Harris or Booker were this secretive, you'd be calling now for them to be tarred and feathered.

Well considering we're usually told to shut up and get back in line when we do . . .

Not going to lie, it looks like Bernie's momentum is unstoppable. That announcement couldn't have been more perfect. I still think Biden would edge him in a primary RN, but that could easily change

Get in line for what exactly? And who is “we” in this context?

You are not an American citizen. You cannot vote for Bernie Sanders.

Yeah, Biden’s gearing up for a run and he very well may have an even better announcement.

Do you, you know, have any other line of attack? Because It's not a very good one.

Biden will get nowhere. He's a MeToo waiting to happen.
