In reply to the discussion: Who We Are [View all]Gregorian
(23,867 posts)This may be obvious to some, but I'm not coming up with an answer on my own.
Let's assume she doesn't disclose her speech transcripts, and Hillary becomes the nominee. We already know that fracking isn't troubling most republicans. We also know they'll do anything to win. There's a conflict between those two scenes. I suppose the transcripts in themselves are not something they oppose. So , is this a situation where they might not demand, with the same frequency and intensity, the transcripts like Dems would? In other words, is it likely they'll go after Hillary on the transcripts in a less vigorous way, given the subject of discussion contained within the transcripts?
If I were to guess the most likely scenario, it would be that they would do everything in their power regardless of the subject. But it still begs the question of whether the topic of fracking is so toxic that they might want to avoid the discussion, at least on some level.
Thanks for another thought provoking topic.
