And thats the reason she shouldnt release them. Nothing is ever good enough for some progressives, and the goalposts will keep moving.

Still waiting for the magical transcripts that will destroy Hillary and pave the path for a Bernie victory.

It's not going to happen. It's a shame Bernie couldn't win on his own merits, and is down to hoping for a catastrophe to knock his opponent out of the race.

At this point, even if Hillary Clinton DID release the transcripts, Bernie Sanders and the Republicans would invent some other criterion for her. She’s already met and in some cases surpassed the usual standards, but it will never be enough, will it? She’s released thirty years of tax returns, Sanders has released one and considers that just exactly the same and, therefore, she should release the transcripts. Comparing apples to oranges? Hell no — it’s comparing apples to a fruit that hasn’t even been invented yet. It’s no longer a matter of double standards. At this point it’s gone well beyond triples.

The question that remains: What will be the next hurdle they demand she jump?

that seems to be required from only her as a presidential candidate. She said that once it becomes the accepted norm across the board, she will release them. A quick Google search would have answered your question.

They will take anything she said and blow it up to insinuate whatever they can. Do NOT release them. Giving into the Repub tactics will not satisfy them

Post a new "where's the transcripts?" every 5 days or so?

"where's the transcripts?" stopped being a relevant issue well over a month ago.
