So now, HRC won't release her paid speeches until EVERY candidate does?

[Ken Burch]

Until Jeb does?

Until Rubio does?

Until Cruz does?

Until Dr. Ben does?

Until Ohio Bob does?

Until The Big Hairpiece does?

THAT'S her criteria now?

[msongs]

1. when everyone everywhere everytime releases everything ever said will the sanders "crowd" be happy?

[Ken Burch]

5. We're talking about paid speeches to the 1%...not the idea of giving a speech.

If there's nothing to hide, she has no reason not to release the texts.

She never gains anything from the stonewalling thing.

In every case, if she'd just released what she was asked for on the first day, she'd have put the whole thing to rest on the first day.

[pkdu]

8. How very Fox News of you...awesome. nt

[Ken Burch]

19. Uh, no. Fox News is fine with HRC putting the rich first.

And Fox and the right WANT HRC to be our nominee.

[TipTok]

45. She usually does gain...

The Clinton family MO has been to batten down the hatches, plug the leaks and wait for the storm to pass...

It usually works too...

By default the close off information instead of putting it out

[RKP5637]

56. There usually seems to be a lot of hocus pocus surrounding the Clintons. I really

supported HRC at one time, but have later switched to Bernie. When she speaks, I feel there is an informational wall between her and me. I don't get that at all with Bernie. And for other reasons I like Bernie. Bottom line though, I want a democrat in the WH 2016, so I'll of course vote for the nominee.

I agree with you, that it would be far better to just put out information and be done with it. Holding back information, playing a game, generates mistrust IMO. It makes it appear one has something to hide. Relative to the 1% speeches, I can see why there would be a reluctance to release those. They likely do not serve in the best interest of saying, I'm really with the middle class and poor and fighting the 1%.

[Lucinda]

2. Thats what she said earlier too. When everyone who has made them does. n/t

[artislife]

3. Because she likes to follow? nt

[Art_from_Ark]

4. I'll do it-- but you have to go first!

And you! And you! And you, too!

[Live and Learn]

7. She is running the worst campaign ever. I no longer know anyone that supports her. nt

[pkdu]

9. You need to get out more...

[JackRiddler]

10. I love your definition of "getting out more."

"Check out the 538 blog!"

Never mind, I'll check out the news reports from Nevada on Saturday!

[pkdu]

14. Getting out was in reference to "I dont know anyone supporting Hillary" comment , but I think you

knew that already.

Its not just NV , its the next 14 states inc. Super Tuesday.

Bernie supporters are already claiming another "moral victory " if its not a landslide...how many can you claim and still keep going with a straight face?

[JackRiddler]

41. There has been 1 primary and 1 caucus so far.

All I see is HRC repeaters claiming about 14 victories, moral or otherwise, that have not happened, on the basis of polling that is extremely unreliable by the nature of primaries and caucuses, where voting bases are small and motivation and turnout are everything. Counting your chickens!

[Live and Learn]

12. I get out plenty. And I don't see any Hillary supporters on the streets.

Maybe, they are all hiding out.

[pkdu]

15. Yep , maybe they are all at home answering their phones to Pollsters?

http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article53191495.html

[Live and Learn]

16. Those polls are wrong. I also don't know a single person that has answered a poll in CA.

The pollsters really need to get out on the streets, telephone polling , no longer works.

[Ken Burch]

24. She's only eleven points up in CA with months before that primary even happens.

At this stage, a 46%-35% lead in Cali isn't anything to crow about.

[Helen Borg]

30. She will lose CA

... 😊

[JackRiddler]

42. Probably not.

Suspended campaigns don't really "lose."

[Helen Borg]

44. Righto...

Hopefully, we won't have a nail biter that goes all the way to CA!

[JackRiddler]

55. To be honest,

I'll just be happy if enough of what's coming up through March 1 is split to keep Sanders viable, after which things favor him much more.

I'd be thrilled to see enormous turnouts in all primaries, of course - that can only go well.

[TipTok]

47. I know people who will vote for her...

I don't know anyone who is excited about it...

They intend to hold their nose and the Clinton campaign is counting on that with no alternatives.

[artislife]

11. She thinks she can manage without people

who value transparency.

The reason no one on the Republican side asks their candidates for their transcripts of speeches to the one percent is because they believe the one percent will save them They want their noblemen's protection.

On the Left, we worry why they would pay such high fees to someone who is watching them, admonishing them, telling them to cut it out---it pains me to have to type what I perceive as lies---. We want to be sure we have someone to protect us from the nobility and we want to hear it and to see it.

Is it possible that the transcripts may reveal that she isn't fighting for the peons?

[Live and Learn]

13. +10,000 nt

[kristopher]

50. The transcripts are a red herring to whitewash taking $20,000,000+

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511272314

[Ken Burch]

23. Frankly, it looks as if she thinks she can manage without people, period. n/t.

[PatrickforO]

26. Yeah, right now. But when that criminal indictment that's in the works comes,

all the kitchen appliances in the world won't do her a bit of good, nor us if she's already our nominee.

[Enthusiast]

31. You're giving away the playbook!

[uponit7771]

17. Who cares? tia

[Ken Burch]

18. Anybody who doesn't want corporations to run life.

And really, anybody who truly wants to defeat racism(which can't be done WITHOUT challenging corporate control of politics and life).

[aquart]

21. Wow. You have so little on her you have to troll the perfectly legal speeches.

I guess saying Rah! Rah! Rah! to the bonus bros of Goldman Sachs for a ton of money is a huge crime.

How much did Bernie get for his speech?

[Ken Burch]

22. Damn little, most likely.

He never says things Goldman Sachs wants to hear over caviar.

[Kentonio]

34. A couple of thousand which he donated to charity.

Seeing the difference yet?

[noiretextatique]

25. well, now that Bernie released the transcript of his $500.00 speech

time for clinton to release the transcript of her $675,000.00 speech. btw, bernie donated the $500.00 to charity. time to ante-up, hillary.

[NanceGreggs]

27. The only people ...

... who want access to those transcripts are Bernie supporters hoping to find a "47%er moment" to use against HRC. No one else cares.

If BS supporters thought Bernie could win the nomination on his own merits, they wouldn't be so desperate to unearth a "gotcha" moment they are hoping is buried in an HRC speech transcript.

It's too bad Bernie can't win on his own positives, but is reduced to relying on some slim hope that some devastating negative about his opponent will surface any minute now and catapult him to victory.

[Fumesucker]

28. I proudly stand with Nance Greggs v2.0.08, that lady was a sharp judge of character

[Flying Squirrel]

33. Me2. nt

[noiretextatique]

32. best argument to release the transcripts yet!

If there is no "gotcha" in the transcripts, what's the problem?

“Let me say this, I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else the same because every other candidate in this race has given speeches to private groups, including Senator Sanders.” - Hillary Clinton

Bernie has already done so.

[livetohike]

39. Exactly. Hundreds of threads here saying the same thing. I asked what it was

they hoped to find and got crickets.

Sanders* sent the memo and his trolls are out there starting numerous posts every day "release the transcripts".

[Fuddnik]

29. Our county Mosquito Control Officer just released his.

But it was only to one banker in a bar, and most of it was garbled. They were both pretty drunk. But he was paid a chili dog and a Bud Light.

[Duckhunter935]

35. her original

statement, was every paid speech by anybody ever

[polly7]

36. That was her stance all along, imo. She knew none of them would. nt.

[noiretextatique]

37. sanders did eom

[polly7]

38. Oh sorry .... yes. She knew that he would have no problem with his, imo.

But that probably all the rest wouldn't even consider it. Playing games.

[noiretextatique]

40. jeb bush said he would

and why wouldn't the others? they say horrid, racist, sexist, homophobic, crazy shit in public. i think she opened a can of worms.

[polly7]

57. She has no intention of releasing her fawning speeches to all those who've given her millions.

What the GOP candidates say is meaningless with regard to her even looking into it. They're just a good excuse for her to not do something she can't without revealing how she's bought and paid for. She thinks people are stupid, imo.

[JackRiddler]

43. The Big Hairpiece...

all these guys have no doubt given speeches we never heard of... how will we even know they've released all transcripts? This excuse will always stand.

[Vinca]

46. You have to surmise there is something devastating in those speeches or they'd already be out.

[complain jane]

49. Or

there's something devastating in others' speeches, or this would have been over and done with already, no?

[Vinca]

53. We already have reports from attendees at the Hillary speeches and it's pretty obvious why

she's keeping those suckers under lock and key. How do you think the American people will feel when they learn she assured Wall Street banksters that we all caused the problem and we'll have to work together to get out of it? Flash back to 2008 and the bailout. Wall Street flooded with gigantic piles of taxpayer dollars . . . and they gave bonuses to the same people who caused the meltdown. If I had been Hillary and I thought I might run for office again, I wouldn't have given the speeches. Of course, it's hard to turn down nearly a quarter of a million dollars for a speech. I get that. But once you have the "Goldman handcuffs" on, it's hard to take them off. The speeches will come out eventually. Either now or in the general election. She ought to put them out, weather the storm, and get it over with.

[noiretextatique]

60. i read that Clinton insisted on having all of her speeches transcribed

so, i would hope there is no gotcha. if there is, that would not help her with her trustworthy problem.

[complain jane]

48. Is that so far-fetched?

I think it's common sense, no?

[riversedge]

51. She said this a few weeks ago--All need to release paid speeches. No double standard should be

set for just her.

Why do you act so surprised??

[Kilgore]

52. I smell the smell

Of a desperate candidate.

[beedle]

54. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, When are you going to release your paid speeches?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/2/18/1487565/-Bernie-releases-paid-speech-Your-turn-Hillary

Time to start 'trying to tell the truth' again Hillary

[gordianot]

58. This is how you manage elections in the age of modern instant videos.

Much like a waiter who derails a candidate with his cell phone or bystander documenting a police confrontation with a video personal media counts. Even erasing emails from your server does not work when you have nothing to fear from the truth. Maybe in the interest of transparency Politicians should join law enforcement with body cameras. Political candidates involved in secret negotiations are not trustworthy and do not have the excuse of office. At least the Republican clown car openly displays who owns them. Those who own Hillary's speeches are not really helping her and Hillary is not helping herself. My level of political trust as a life long Democrat is at an all time low.

[Dr. Strange]

59. Yes. She's a leader.
