(43,890 posts)Sometimes people take my posts at face value.
But my currency is debased.
You seriously think she would release the transcripts?
I don't
Joob
(1,065 posts)Though I think it hurts her from not releasing them since the theme of this election is corruption, money in politics and the very issue of trusting Hillary herself. I think people would find her more trustworthy if they didn't feel like something shady was going on there.
And, to top it off. Republicans have nothing to hide when it comes to stuff like that because it's out in the open who they support. So they would release the transcripts. Actually, after giving it some thought.
Her only play would be to not release the speeches, and bet on the Republicans not releasing them either IF she had something really damning in them. Otherwise none of it makes sense. Though honestly, typing this all out feels like she's gambling for the the election in the general on this alone.

(1,681 posts)If I were her, I'd type up some bullshit taking the banks to task and release it. Control the message.

(15,805 posts)Whatever she did wouldn't be good enough. It would encourage the anti-Hillary crowd to make even more preposterous claims against her. It would be no different than when Obama released his birth certificate, the only thing that did was bring out even more crazy birthers and their wildest conspiracy theories. She's ahead, so the smart move is to just let the nutters chew their own legs off in frustration because a woman isn't going to do what they want.

(1,065 posts)Since she said she would too. Is she lying and have no intentions?

(15,805 posts)Everyone knows that Hillary has been subjected to an unrelenting barrageof attacks for the last 30 years. She has withstood everything, nothing has brought her down, and to the delight of her fans, she wears the scars proudly, taunting her enemies in the process. That's the personna the public sees, and whether its the Rs attacking her or a faction of Dems, she will prevsil just as she always has, and the voters will rely on her as the very epitome of strength through adversity.

All this time that has passed, there has certainly been time to create new transcripts...
