You believe Trump will be a better president than Hillary. That is why we have elections. But please consider withholding your vote until you see his full tax returns.
Trump and his oldest son have actively sought loans and investments from Russian Oligarchs with ties to Putin. If we are talking about 10 or 20 million who cares. On the other hand, if it is hundreds of millions, enough to crater a project if funds are withheld or withdrawn, we need to know. Trump has taken the most pro Russia positions of any major party candidate since World War II. Once again who cares unless the so called Bromance with Putin includes a major dowry.
The returns will be helpful for other reasons. If you are voting for Trump because of his business acumen, the returns will quantify his success or lack of success. But that pales in comparison to the chance, however small, that we might elect a president influenced by a foreign power.
George Will agrees that Oligarch connection is reason Trump is not releasing returns. http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/289241-george-will-raises-possible-trump-link-to-russian-oligarchs
