(57,936 posts)If so, why in the world support her?
Bernie has provided the transcripts of all the speeches he made. Most of his speeches were made in Congress, and you can watch them on YouTube.
Hillary should release her transcripts.
They probably won't harm her at all.
And she will be able to clear the air of all the doubts that her failure to release the transcripts are doing her.
If she releases the transcripts, very few people will read them because people don't have have time to do so and besides most people won't be interested in what she said. Unless she said something that will embarrass her or make her look like a liar.
If she doesn't release the transcripts, people will think she is a liar or is hiding something incriminating.
She is a public figure. When she decided to run for president, she pretty much gave up her claim to privacy with regard to those speeches. Nobody is forcing her to continue to run.
Hillary should release the transcripts of those speeches and let the chips fall where they may. The truth one way or the other will emerge about what she said, so what does she really have to lose?
Until she releases them, the story will be that she is hiding something and not releasing them.
She should release them asap.
