In reply to the discussion: Senator Warren to endorse Clinton, sources say [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,822 posts)52. Has any other candidate ...
... for President (or otherwise) been asked to produce transcripts of speeches they made as a private citizen - or, for that matter, of any speeches at all?
Why are the rules suddenly different for HRC? Why is there NO precedent for doing what she has been demanded to do?
And don't give me the "she made millions from Wall Street" crap. It's irrelevant. Many candidates have made millions - yet they've not been asked to produce ANY speech transcripts to any group, any organization, any union, any club, any gathering whatsoever.
There IS, however, a precedent for releasing full-and-complete tax returns for multiple years. There's only one primary candidate who didn't do that - and still hasn't to this day.

Exactly. There would be little chunks in her throat as she choked out the words.

I don't see it as destroying Warren's credibility, so much as I see it as Warren sacrificing herself
