++ Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post deals with Trump "Stonewaller,shape-shifter, and liar."
""She opens with the exchange between ABC's George Stephanopoulos and Trump over whether he would real ease his tax returns. George asks "Don't you think the voters have a right to see them before making a final decision?. Trump says he doesn't think so. FYI-Hillary Clinton has released 32 years of tax returns. I couldn't do that,I don't have them anymore.
++Marcus' point is that the voters have a right because the person chosen helps steer the nation's finances. My point would be that this particular person has to release their taxes because he has virtually no political experience and it one additional aid to measure him on.
++She deals with Trump the shape-shifter and his ever changing positions."Yet Trump's "flexibility" is unsettling because it does not rest on an existing edifice of long-expressed convictions and recorded votes. When everything is a starting point , how are voters supposed to judge --or guess--where Trump might end up?"
++"Trump's campaign is a vast policy desert, so declaring that the sparse fronds of detail are eminently negotiable erases any confidence that voters know what they are getting."I would suggest it also allows voters to later claim they didn't know what he would do.
++Trump is a liar. Here Ruth Marcus wants not to seem so rash. But she goes on about Trump acting as his publicist and denying it . If he's willing to lie about some inconsequential than he's capable of lying about big stuff. Well, he did. He lied about Muslims in Jersey City cheering as the towers came down on 9-11.
++She concludes with,"Knowingly electing one who lies while trying out for the job would be a tragic mistake."
But her paper's owner Jeff Bezos lamed out in responding to Trump's threats against the Washington Post and Bezos himself. "I didn't think that's how a presidential candidate should act."
