But our national poll finds that these independent voters are profoundly troubled by Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns, a sign of the issue’s potential potency.

Six in 10 independents believe Trump should release his taxes, and almost all of them say they feel strongly about it. Even 44 percent of Republicans want the billionaire businessman to release his returns before the November election, though they are less passionate.

The point is that he is probably bullshitting his actual "worth", notwithstanding gaming the system to avoid paying his share.

He is. When he states his net worth he puts a value of several billion on his name. The amount changes all the time. But the real deal is probably pays nothing or almost nothing.

Right now Trump and Bernie have messages that is resonating with their supporters, Hillary has none to speak of. Hillary is hoping that Trump's weaknesses will be exposed once the general election season starts and Trump is hoping to browbeat Hillary and hope this works. Whether Hillary can effectively expose Trump's weaknesses remains to be seen. She is after all a lousy campaigner. Trump we know will effectively expose every weakness in Hillary including name calling.

I still believe it will be a toss up and if she does lose it will be blamed on Bernie and if she wins, credit will go to Trump's lack of fitness to be President. It will never be Hillary on her own merits, it will be fear based on a Trump presidency.

Trump says climate change is a hoax until it threatens one of his golf courses.

Keep debunking Trump and hope Hillary wins, that's the master plan?

Trump debunks himself with his scattershot hyperbole.

I have yet to see any Trump supporter be able to defend Trump's lies and racist comments or his encouragement of violence.

Seems the author below is asking politicians who support Trump how they can defend those things.

Half of his supporters like him for this, the other half like him better than Hillary.
