Related: About this forumHillary will release her speeches if REPUBLICANS do?
(Just saw this again on a news clip.)
We are in the primaries right now....
If those transcripts cannot stand up against her Democratic opponent, perhaps she should not be the nominee.
For the record, I don't think there's anything damning in them. Just whom she spoke to, how glowingly she no doubt spoke of them, and what she got paid. Um, well, then, maybe I misspoke there.....
Going to bed now, will see reception in AM, or maybe PM after work, depending on how fast I'm able to drag myself out of bed. I'm generally pretty slow.... ;->

(50,130 posts)Then (when O'Malley was still in the race) she said she would release them if the others did. Then she said that EVERYONE including Republicans had to do so.

(25,270 posts)don't really care about her speeches as they will not be voting for her anyway. As a Democrat though her speeches are important to us. We Dems need to make a decision - Hillary or Bernie. How can one vote for Hillary if we don't know whether she is telling us one thing and Goldman Sachs something completely different.
Without that question being answered by her by seeing the transcripts it's hard to justify voting for her over Bernie because there is a lingering doubt. This means she will lose votes to Bernie.
If she has nothing to hide she should release those transcripts. Not releasing those transcripts kind of says that she has something to hide. It only reaffirms the perception people have of her as not being trustworthy.

(22,308 posts)What she seems unable to grasp is that at some point there will be only 1 (R) left. If he never gave speeches or does release transcripts she is painted into a corner.
