(57,936 posts)Hillary needs to match what Bernie has done in terms of transparency
Even videos of Bernie as the mayor of Burlington have been released.
Hillary is making herself look bad in this for no reason.
Surely her speeches will not embarrass her that much.
As long as she refuses to release the transcripts of her speeches this is an issue.
Hillary just needs to get it behind her. I seriously doubt that the speeches will harm her in any way. If only people on this website are interested, then she has nothing to fear from releasing them.
As long as she fails to release them, her failure to do so is a distracting issue. If as you say there is nothing problematic in the speeches, she should end this issue and just release them.
I am inclined to think that releasing them will not be in any way a problem for her or embarrassing for her, but her failure to release them makes it appear that they are.
She should just release them and remove the issue from the political discussion.
