2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat's the current status of Clinton's Goldman transcripts?
Is her position still that all politicians everywhere must release their speeches before she does?
Those must be some damning transcripts for her not to have released yet.
I wonder if the Republican opposition has a copy of one or more of them and is waiting to use them during the general election?

(643 posts)A common argument I see is that it's an old topic and it's time to move on. It's only an old topic because she's let it drag on without addressing it. So, sorry, we're gonna keep asking

(30,099 posts)refer to Obama, since he took the lions share of money from WS and that proves
there was no quid pro quo. I know what you're thinking, but this is what they actually
believe supports their position.
Or that she is forced to take the money and it means nothing unless YOU
can prove she has done something or will do something in the near future
to compromise future regulations for the financial industry. That would be
past tense..you would have to wait and see.
So how many politicians take lobby money and then talk about how it influenced
them? lol
Oligarchy is a word to mock now on DU....and so is corruption. These people
are fucked up, with utterly and completely fucked up rationalizations.

(8,217 posts)Transcripts on talks, many times are a slice of the prevailing opinion at the time the speech is given, when it comes to certain topics.
I don't think that the speeches could be damning per se, but it would get scrutinized, parsed and taken out of context beyond all recognition.
No matter what, any one will probably find something objectionable from the many speeches given.
It is a much safer bet not to release it, and rather concentrate on her campaign performance and other more verifiable records out there.
There is so much on Clinton on record that is objectionable that is readily available that I don't see a need to add to it with these.
From the debates where she mostly parrots Sanders position while adding a few things to make it seem tougher, to absolute retro-anamnyses on things she has done said and her grasp on policy.
I mean, I am quite interested in seeing them too, but I'd rather concentrate on other things instead, as to me, this is minor in comparison to her record.
