    Why is the mod challenging Trump about his finances and taxes?

    No problem with this but will the sAme question be passed to Clinton?

    I guess because she has published hers.

    I still have bugger all idea about what their policies are. Clinton something about allowing students to refinance their student debt and Trump to give big tax cuts.

    Its now just all personal bollocks. Clinton's father obviously did well in the focus group given she appears to mention him in every other sentence.
