Trump's taxes bump Miss Universe from headlines

By Rebecca Savransky

The spotlight shifted on Sunday to Donald Trump's tax returns, after a report surfaced showing the GOP nominee could have legally avoided paying federal income tax for up to 18 years.
 
The New York Times report quickly bumped the controversy surrounding his treatment of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado from the headlines, as the GOP nominee's supporters sought to defend him, arguing the new information shows Trump's genius.
 
But Democrats and supporters of Hillary Clinton said the fact that a $916 million loss Trump reported on his 1995 income tax returns could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income tax for up to 18 years reveals a corrupt system and a candidate who only cares about himself.
 
The latest average of polls from RealClearPolitics shows Clinton ahead of Trump by 2.5 points and it remains to be seen how the information about Trump's taxes will sit with voters.

   He's got 30+ Days with Early Voting already occurring to secure 7%+, due to DNC Fraud he needs a 5% cushion. 

   He can do it only if Assuage helps or hellary has major health problems she or the MSM can't cover up.

   We told YA, and the many polls in the Primaries told yaw he couldn't win against hellary cause he had just as much 'baggage' as her.

   'To hell with the GOP', you sure showed us.........


   I'm already tired of winning.

Why is it every time I see Giuliani he looks crazy?  I don't recall him looking that way in the past.

Clinton is still running hard with the golden bullet Trump handed her with the attacks on Miss Universe.  That stuff isn't going away just because there's another Trump debacle getting above-the-fold exposure.

   Cause he's a NY Liberal, always 'has been', that stuff works great UP THERE, it's the other 40 States that aren't plugged into Reality TV that know what a failure it is.

Gee...I don't know what you mean.  He looks like the average Trump supporter to me.   :pondering:

Gaudy is as Gaudy does.  Looks like the décor of the nouveau riche.   Think:  Navin meets Beverly Hillbillies after running over Molly Brown.

Only thing missing is the gold flamingos on the front lawn.

You have got to be kidding me.   They clearly went to the Olan Mills in midtown Manhattan.

 Green acres is the place for me.
 Farm livin' is the life for me.
 Land spreadin' out so far and wide
 Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
 New York is where I'd rather stay.
 I get allergic smelling hay.
 I just adore a penthouse view.
 Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.
 ...The chores.
 ...The stores.
 ...Fresh air.
 ...Times Square
 You are my wife.
 Good bye, city life.
 Green Acres we are there.
