If she is going to be our candidate, perhaps it's better if the remarks remain under wraps. Of course, the Republicans will find a way to get them, so I guess we might as well hear the bad news now.

other travesties she engineered while in official capacity. They are far more damning. The worst is going to come if she wins the nomination.

A popular meme here is that Bernie can't win the GE...that the Republicans will eviscerate him. He's no pussy cat...he's being a gentleman to a lady (using that term loosely) who he likes personally and is still running on his record.

Unfortunately, that's now how one gets elected, so I'm pretty sure his campaign staff are ramping up to require him to be more, well, like Hillary. State her record...we know his quite well. Over and over. Let the Brock Smarm fly off the back and plod on. Hand her back her slimy smears. Keep classy.

He will make Trump look like the Carny Barker that he is. Hillary would delightfully engage...and lose. She has a whole new slew of "issues" that weren't available in 2008. Those have not been vetted.

ETA: Response is to the first post. The second one...meh.

and Cenk said it would be a perfect follow up to Hillary saying she went to Wall St and said "cut it out" to then say "and look here is the transcript from that speech" - it would be a slam dunk winner for her. Now why doesn't she do it.....hmmm.

Otherwise, she's hiding something and the public knows it.

I admire your persistence though. I don't know how many actually hear you. And if they do hear you, will it matter? It is whatever they can get away with - as per their own admission.

and transcripts of her high dollar speeches to Wall Street would certainly be at the top of that list.

I'm sure she talked about how prosperous Wall St. types have become and then undoubtedly took credit for much of their "success".
