Since she is just asking for a long-form again, then it is time her tactics called her out. I felt bad last time she was call out in the debate and she looked nervous and wounded. I don't like seeing her that way, but perhaps a good wake up will make her act like a decent person again.

all the short form has is amounts not from whence the amounts came or the justification behind the amounts. It is entirely different from the birth certificate stuff, which she had zero, nada, nihil to do with.

Over and above taxes, which they all traditionally reveal. That would make Bernie look pretty stupid and a bully.

makes one look pretty stupid too.

The offer to defer judgement until the transcript is reviewed is a huge favor.

about not having the time yet.

And whatever else is said will be eclipsed by that.

I love Bernie and support him all the way, but sometimes he's made some missteps.
