(90,339 posts)... I'd like to make sure there's no 47% statement in those transcripts.
I don't see how reThugs voted for that guy after hearing that... it was so sleazy... hopefully Clinton doesn't have the same

(3,649 posts)That's the point. She says that those speaking fees didn't influence her ideals? Prove it. Release the transcripts.

(15,804 posts)She's right to say "I'll look into it" rather than promising something she might not be able to deliver.
But I do wonder -- given that she's lived under a microscope for thirty years, how likely is it that something shocking is going to be found in any of those speeches? There are many things that warrant our time and examination, I'm not at all convinced that this is one of them.

She can't release the words that came out of her mouth because they are someone else's property!
She doesn't even own her words!
That is the point!

People talk about Bernie being old. Tweety is older than Bernie.
When you get to this age group you realize that age doesn't mean shit.
Health - including brain health is what keeps you young.

(972 posts)with the hedge funds. It's not like nobody is watching. I think that she did not cancel those fundraisers, just postponed them until after the N.H. primary.

(50,130 posts)A transcription service (she said) recorded and transcribed the events.
Tweety asked how it would be useful to have transcriptions of events where 5,000 people might be in attendance.
And then Andrea (IIRC) said that meetings in board rooms would be more damning if she said something there that contradicts what she says on the campaign trail.
