Trump bashing hypocritical

Sun., March 13, 2016

To stop Trump from getting the nomination, the candidates and the Republican establishment are criticizing him for not disavowing David Duke’s unsolicited endorsement. However, I find it hypocritical as Duke ran in Louisiana as a Republican candidate for governor.

Also, where in the Constitution does it say that a candidate should divulge all personal information, like the tax returns? As one Republican running as a candidate for Congress said: “My tax returns are none of your business.”
