I want Bernie to release all transcripts

Even though Hillary claims to be a leader but wants other candidates to release their transcripts for their speeches, I feel Bernie should step up release all transcripts of his speeches to all the banking institutes. I'll even go one step further and demand he releases all info on all his donors. Yes I want all the info on the million or so donors that have bribed Mr. Sanders since his run for POTUS. Step up Bernie whatcha hiding?????




And what is going on here Bernie?????



Bernie Sanders Clearly In Pocket Of High-Rolling Teacher Who Donated $300 To His Campaign

BURLINGTON, VT—After accepting a check sent to his campaign office by a local elementary school teacher, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was roundly criticized Monday as being firmly in the pocket of the high-rolling educator who had donated $300.

... evidence albeit anecdotal that she commisurated with the Wall Street thieves telling them she opposed the populist anti-Walll Street rhetoric and that she's their go-to girl in Washington. A transcript would be a problem, a video would end her just like Romney's 47% comment fatally wounded him.

Second I did watch the video.

She did say at the same time in the middle and ended with I'll consider looking into it. Which on it's face is laughable, and boils down to my synopsis. Especially when you consider that Bernie's speeches are already out there.

Shouldn't she be proud of how strenuously she told Goldman to cut it out?

a big score when Bernie gets in. My bribes are:

a) $10 per month since May, 2015 and continuing,
b) $27 on debate nights, and
c) $25 each time Sec. Clinton says something like "we can't" in response to Bernie's presidential platform in a debate. Of course enormous effort is needed to overcome the Repugs. The alternative to not expending enormous effort is be pushed backward -- no true "progressive" can harbor that thought.

I plan to give to the legal limit to help Bernie go to the convention and fight a coup to deny him the nomination and give it to anyone else.

I am actually open to the possibility that her speeches were innocuous and harmless.

However, if so. that would be all the more reason to actually disclose what she said and put this in the rear view mirror, instead of allowing it to be a festering controversy.

Refusing to do so unless all candidates release every transcription of every speech they have ever given is self-defeating. It feeds into the things that bug people about Clinton Inc. evasiveness, spin and dishonesty. "We're fine. Take our word for it. Nothing to see here. Move on."

By being so opaque, she makes the speeches seem like they are more sinister and damning than they may be......unless they really were a pep talk to the Wall Streeters that belittled "the peasants" for being angry.

What are they going to do to me, I decided to donate to him monthly. It's 25.00 a month, that's about $300.00. AND, I did buy some shirts and stuff. Should I be waiting for a knock on my door? I mean I'm a "monthly" ABUSER!


I'm almost speechless that she responded this way because even though I really don't have much trust in what her real intentions are should she be the nominee, I always felt she was very intelligent. THIS comment ISN'T even intelligent! WHY would she say something like this, ESPECIALLY knowing he hasn't been taking the BIG MONEY. THIS is just plain STUPID!
