From the May 11 edition of CNN’s At This Hour With Berman And Bolduan:

KATE BOLDUAN (HOST): Look, I'm sure there will be polling to see if folks want to see, going forward in a general, if they want to see his tax returns. He would be the first candidate, he would be the first nominee not to disclose since 1976. Nixon, I believe even disclosed his tax returns -- released his tax returns -- when he was under audit. So all kind of the reasoning behind the Donald Trump not releasing, doesn't necessarily hold water with history, but when it comes, Bill Press, as we turn this direction, when it comes to general election, is this very likely going to be fodder for whomever he's up against?

BILL PRESS:  Absolutely, I think both Ana and Tana are making a big mistake in equating Donald Trump -- people who go to Donald Trump rallies with general election voters. I mean, there are a lot more people out there. I mean, yeah, those people at the rallies don't care what Donald Trump says because they love Donald Trump. But this is a big issue, and particularly because he brags about his wealth, it seems to me that people have these questions.
