A clarification about Trump's taxes.

[kentuck]

Republicans are quick to claim that voters voted for Donald Trump even though they knew he was not going to show his tax returns.

That is not hardly correct.

Before the election, he never said that he was not going to show his tax returns. In fact, he said that he would show his returns as soon as they were out of audit. He led everyone, including his supporters, to believe that he would show his tax returns.

Never once before the 2016 election did he say that he would not show his returns.

Never once did they say that was a hill they were willing to die on, rather than turn over the tax returns.

2. The Electoral College looks to have bought it, but

not the voters.

3. That is true.

He lost by the largest number of votes of anyone ever elected President.

4. And, if you consider ALL the 2016 candidates for POTUS, the difference between Trump's

total vote count and SOMEONE ELSE was about 12 million votes.

In Trump-speak, this amounts go "the greatest victory in history".

5. I think you meant that Hillary received the largest number of votes in history

Her popular vote margin was nowhere near the largest.

6. Once again, far fewer than half the voters voted for Trump
