Mitt Romney is playing the part of GOP accountant these days.

Romney – who didn’t turn over all of his own tax returns when he ran for president–kept hounding Trump to turn over his tax returns during the GOP debate Thursday over Twitter.

Trump said during the debate that he had not turned over his tax returns because he was being audited.

“I’ve been audited every year, 12 years or something like that,” Trump said. ” I will absolutely give my return but I’m being audited now for two or three now so I can’t do it until the audit is finished obviously, and I think people would understand that.”

Romney says that is no reason to keep them to himself.

  2. And what was your excuse for not turning over a single full years worth fuck nut?

    Why is Mitt Romney suddenly inserting himself into the Republican spotlight? It is absurd, particularly on the subject of releasing income taxes (Where are yours from before 2010, Mitt?) It is reviving the speculation that he thinks the party will turn to him to save the day. I don’t think so.

    [/quote]You know what? I think you’re onto something. I think Romney thinks that the party will turn to him to run at a brokered convention. And here I was thinking that Ben Carson was delusional.
