All she has to do is hand over those transcripts!!!!
If they prove that she told them to "Cut It Out," she will look honest and stand a chance at winning.
Why doesn't she help herself out and hand them over?
Does she have self destructive tendencies?

(13,685 posts)The list is long of her squandering and there is no need to post that list here,
She's past the verge: she's done squandered it all away.

(31,935 posts)she and the DNC have destroyed all the goodwill they would have had with Bernie supporters. Independents don't trust her, further Right republicans hate her. All she's left with are the DLC/ DNC conservodems. It's just not happening for Hillary.

(10,622 posts)could be proven if we only could see what she talked to Goldman Sachs and all those other special interests about (that made her wealthy due to their unflappable and well known quality of altruism).
She could have proven that all she talked about was how they could help her improve the lives of the less affluent, especially those considered to be minorities. I have heard her speak and that is what she says to all of us, why should or would her speeches contradict that? We have been told she is all about being our champion, I am sure she was merely championing us behind those closed doors.
At the close of those speeches, I'm a sure she became uncustomary angry and scolded them telling, them to "cut it out withe those little shenanigans", like a mom yelling at her slightly naughty child to stop it with those monkeyshines.
She has been cheated out of this clear opportunity to prove herself to us by means out of her control.
Bad Dawg!

(1,642 posts)If not, why won't she release them?
And once that info is known, the average voter will pay more attention.

(11,014 posts)Except for the revolutionary echo chamber, no one cares about speaking fees either. Former FLOTUS and former SOSs have always earned those fees. Do you think Colin Powell gives speeches for free?

(11,991 posts)(1) Colin Powell isn't running for president, and
(2) Colin Powell isn't claiming he told Wall Street to "cut it out."
That said, I agree with your basic point... most people don't care about the transcripts, other than the people who have already decided not to vote for her. The people who are voting for her don't care. The people who are undecided are likely considering much more substantial things than whether or not she releases her speech transcripts. On primary day (or election day), if you exit poll people who vote against her, I would not expect to see much of "I might have voted for her, if only she'd have released her transcripts." I'd bet that most of us, whether Bernie supporter or Hillary supporter, expect that she said some pretty glowing things about the financial sector in those speeches.
