HRC not releasing the transcripts is selfish

[SHRED]

Here's what I mean...

I think it's fair to say that it's not just HRC who holds what was said at those paid speaking engagements. That the repukes will hold those transcripts for the appropriate moment should she get the Democratic Party nomination.

The content of those speeches should be vetted now for the sake of this election.
And to think we are being called "selfish" for wanting them vetted.

Thoughts?

1. Unfortunately, most Republican voters won't care-they are fine with behavior like this.

It matters now in the primary where many Democratic voters do care and would vote for Sanders if her words were made public.

3. I think tRump will run as a "not being bought"

As crazy as that sounds.

He'll use those transcripts to contrast and label her as bought.

4. True-I'm not sure given his other outrageous stands he will sway many independents though.

2. Yep, it's selfish and politically stupid.

There must be something really damning in them.

5. Her motivation is self preservation.

6. I still wonder if they're being held as a (supposed) ace up her sleeve

A la Benghazi, where she supposedly came out ahead on the deal (because somehow it's better to survive a scandal than simply not be in one in the first place).

I don't see it going away. As long as she doesn't release them, anyone not-a-fan will naturally assume the worst. So maybe they will hold onto it, until enough noise is generated for it to become front page news (like the Obama birth cert) then she'll proudly release them, and all will be forgiven.

I'm guessing, that's their thinking anyway. Everything they do seems to be about gamesmanship, so...

7. If they were neutral or would help her...

She would release them. Safe to say they must be pretty damning.

8. So she will hold them I guess

I just hope that tRump doesn't get them should she be the nominee.
