    Driving home this evening, I listened to the post-debate interviews with the candidates by CNN. Trump's interviewer mentioned that Romney had raised again the issue of Trump's tax returns and asked when Trump would release his return. Per usual, Trump's response began with an ad hominem attack, and then when pressed for a release date, Trump said he couldn't until the IRS audit was completed (B.S.). He went on to say he couldn't understand why he's audited every year (Hint: perhaps returns that are 1,000 pages long, as Trump says his are, are more likely to be audited), but speculated it might be "because of religion." The interviewer sounded VERY surprised, and asked, "Religion?" He answered, "Well, I'm a great Christian and we know the IRS goes after religious groups." Other than Donald, apparently, has anyone on the planet ever described Trump as a great Christian?
    lol yes. Donald Trump's taxes are put under the magnifying glass because he's such a rabid Christian. Not because he's a shady real estate developer whose projects have been hit and miss, riddled with bankruptcies.

      well there are a few winner take all.

        Among the many things Trump said last night that I found laughable was his condemnation of Presidente Vincente Fox's use of the F word in condemning Trump's proposed wall (which, as Trump has said before when any Mexican criticizes the plan, "just became ten feet higher!" Muy macho!). CNN was similarly amused, and posted .

        Reality Check: Trump has a dirty mouth

        By Sonam Vashi, CNN

        Asked about former Mexican President Vicente Fox's comments from earlier Thursday ("I'm not going to pay for that f**king wall!"), Trump said, "I saw him make the statement. I saw him use the word that he used. I can only tell you, if I would have used even half of that word, it would have been a national scandal. This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television and he should be ashamed of himself and he should apologize, OK?"

        However, the businessman has a history that shows his own mouth might need to be washed out with soap. Cover your ears, children.

        In April 2011, he blasphemed at a large Las Vegas rally on oil prices ("We have nobody in Washington that sits back and said, 'You're not going to raise that f***king price!'"), on putting tariffs on China ("Listen, you mother***kers, we're going to tax you 25%!") and on military presence abroad ("We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f***king school in Brooklyn."). Listen for yourself in the (bleeped) Vine below.

        That's not even counting the profanity he's uttered during this campaign season. Whether it's wanting to "bomb the s**t out of" ISIS, calling Cruz a "pussy," or casually cursing during interviews, Trump's indignation over Fox's expletive seems a bit feigned when it comes to his own history. We rate Trump's outrage as %$*#.

          Trump embraces the poorly educated.

          "There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

                Not until March 15th, with about 25 proportional states coming before then.

                    Cruz and Jeb have been attacking Trump for weeks and nobody notices or cares. The second Marco goes after Trump, people start to listen. It's nice that the final adult left in the room (sorry, Kasich is an adult but is sitting on the porch) went after the blustering idiot.

                        Kasich is my favorite but he's not gonna win so I went with Rubio, whom I like.

                              Any vote that proportions delegates away from Trump helps.

                                It is amazing to me that 1/3 of those voting in the Republican primary can stomache and then support this guys endless hypocrisy. The contention that all of them are hypocrites has some merit, but I thought that was the anger being expressed in the vote for Trump. They are sick of the hypocrisy and yet they are willing to take a chance on a guy who will say and claim anything.

                                I can't believe how many seemingly well spoken, educated people interviewed say they are voting for him because he "isn't afraid to tell it like it is". I actually like the fact he disdains political correctness, but his negatives that go along with his candidacy are too far a stretch for me to even vote for him over Hillary. It nauseates me to think I couldn't vote for someone over Hillary.
