2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: When Will Hillary Clinton Release Her Wall Street Transcripts? [View all]polly7
(20,582 posts)47. It was more than a 'gotcha' moment.
I can completely understand why you need to minimize the importance of where possible presidential loyalties really lie, but that 47% 'gotcha moment' (is that like Palin's 'gotcha' moments re journalists questions???) firmly cemented in millions of people's minds how corruptible he was and how little he cared about the 'little people'.
Preserve the status quo at all cost!
The rest of your post makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
