Yawn. This should not be a big deal at all.

And this is a good sign that the left needs to slow their roll on trying to establish a norm of making politicians make their tax returns public. They're going to end up disappointed.

Wasn't that norm established through 40 years of precedent?

I only remember it becoming an issue in 2012 when Romney got pestered about it.

In any case, I really don't give a flying fuck how much wealth any politician has.

Politicians are not your friends nor your comrades.

I do, especially when being a politician seems to be the source of much of that wealth *cough*MitchMcConnell*cough*

How dare you try to dispell the claim that Cocaine Mitch made his money the honest way - off of cocaine trafficing.

Nor do I. It's not really about that, though.

"You've mentioned Girls Can Tell, you've been talking about how it's your favorite album; and you said, I think last night in Iowa, and some people are surprised that you say that. I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite Spoon songs are and why?"

"Well, I wouldn't want to get into it, because to me that's very personal, you know, when I talk about Girls Can Tell, it's very personal, so I don't want to get into verses---"

"There's no song that means a lot to you that you think about or cite?"

"Girls Can Tell means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics."

"Even to cite a song that you like?"

"No, I don't want to do that."

"Are you a Kill the Moonlight guy or a Gimme Fiction guy?"

"Uh....probably...equal. I think it's just an incredible...the whole...band...is an incredible...I joke, very much so, they always hold up Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, I say, 'My second favorite album of all time.'"

He’s the breakout candidate Beto wanted to be. Every other candidate in the field right now should at least be thinking about him as a Vice President.

Saying Trump is al-qaeda’s big brother is as stupid as Trump saying Obama was the founder of ISIS. I’m hoping to elect a grown up next time around.
