Why should she release transcripts for Bernie and his trolls to turn into Rose Law Firm-GHAZI!, Vince W. Foster-GHAZI!, email-GHAZI!, BENGHAZIIIIiiiiii!!! ?

Three things:

1.) Noun, verb, Wall Street.

2.) Goldman Sachs paid for those speeches, they are not Hillary’s to delivery to Bernie or the public.

3.) I say, let Hillary release those transcripts only after Bernie releases his tax returns. I’m amazed Hillary has not brought this up, but then again, it’s like punching down, frontrunners don’t need to play in the gutter.

I think she should, but only in regards to a mutual agreement.

She spills everything out, but in turn he completely explains his borderline aversion to gun control and his opposition to the ex-im bank.

Come on Bernie, it’s a fair trade.

Or Establishment or Break up the banks!

Bernie, please stop. As a matter of fact, Hillary, please stop! Both of you stop!

STOP!

Seriously…stop!

By the way, the speech she gave Goldman in October 2014 was recorded and up on youtube. It was for International Women’s Day…

What’s Hillary doing that she has to stop doing?

Well I call on Senator Sanders to drop out of the race, as he can’t win, and at this point he’s only damaging the Democrats chances in 2016 general election.

It is Donald J. Trump you need to plead with instead…

Chelsea, I just do not like the tone this debate has taken on. Yesterday, I admitted my willful naivete and said I wanted us to be more. (as a party…as a people) I’m not an advocate for negative attacks, on either side. Whether it’s Hillary, incorrectly, saying that Sanders voted against the auto-bailout, which is misleading, or Bernie pulling this Wall Street speeches position, it’s low brow, in my not-so-humble-opinion. In my perfect world, I would prefer they both lay out their positions, show us the numbers, in terms of cost, and let us decide based on that. I want a united front. This election, let’s shed all pretenses…it’s us versus them. Let us be US! Us–Democrats. They are smart enough to realize that stopping Trump should be our number 1 priority. Personal ambition, whether it be from Sanders or Hillary, should not override this. This is doing nothing but splintering our party. It will leave a divide. A divide that Trump can possibly take advantage of.

I want us to be more. Wishful thinking, I know. Foolish even. But, that’s me, I suppose.

pleading only empowers him. :smile:

I have to laugh to keep from crying, Blue.

Okay, everyone needs to simmer down! Simmer down now!

I get what you’re objecting to but it’s campaign rhetoric with reasoned governing to follow at the end of it from the Democratic winner. The candidates are exhausted, have hoarse throats from all the jabbering and yet they persevere because it’s how it’s done now.

That’s not desperation. It’s just normal campaign rhetoric. Presidential candidates are in it to win it, and that means they have to defeat their opponents. It will go back and forth, but both parties here will be respectful and keep to the issues of each others platforms and personal character and leadership qualifications issues. That’s normal, even for infra-party rivalries. Desperation is saying that your opponent has small hands, with the intent of implying that he also has a small penis. That’s desperation.

This puerile attack by Sanders shows him the cheap shot ideologue he appears to really be. His schtick has worn thin with me, frankly.

Here is a list of the speeches http://www.releasethetranscripts.com/ I think it’s breathtaking. The metadata tells you a lot without having to look at the script.
