His base is excited, but who else is? Being a front runner this early doesn't necessarily work out. Ask President Paul Tsongas and President Jeb Bush.
Bernie embraces his new role as the front-runner and has quieted critics who suggested that his base would not be excited for him like we were in 2016.https://www.apnews.com/ea9454ea29a246a59b97e731bac16aa2 …

You left Trump off of that list.

Let's not forget, in the summer before the primaries, Jeb Bush was the candidate that was setting the pace for the GOP. It wasn't until the debates that Trump leapt the pack. Bernie is ripe for the same kind of disruption by contrast. He's got a high floor, but a low ceiling.

I remember it well. It was Rachel Maddow who looked at JEB!’s massive big donor war chest and decreed the GOP oligarchs had spoken. “JEB! it would be!”

I will sum up this thread so that ppl don’t have to scroll further: “where are Bernie’s taxes”? “Why doesn’t Bernie release his taxes”? “Bernie needs to release his taxes”! “TAXES”!!!!!!!! Way to get distracted while ppl are dying in the streets.

-
Yes! We could just as easily make this a "thing"
-
get every other candidate trend for that reason, wait til they get pressure, then move on to the next

I need to understand the foot dragging around transparency with respect to Bernie's tax returns before I can get excited about him. Too much of a red flag for me to ignore.
-
It’s just the billionaires making noise bc they are afraid of paying their fair share of taxes. Bernie is releasing 10 years taxes very soon

Where are his damn tax returns? We're not doing this again.

The article said that the campaign is waiting until after 4/15, and will have a decade's worth to release. Not sure what the hold-up is. But, we gotta hold em to it.
