What Clinton supporters know.

She releases the transcript and they don't match what right wingers rat fucking us hope for. They will then ask for emails with event coordinators and anyone else involved, say she is attached at the hip no matter what, and other methods of deflection in order to continue muddying the waters.

This is the right wings specialty. Muddying the waters and selling it to LIV's.

We're not going away until the transcripts are released. And if you think that if she wins the nomination we're going to just fall in line and stop asking, guess again. Trust has to be earned.

Doesn't matter that the shelter is, in fact, no shelter at all. Doesn't matter that we come back in 2-3 years detailing how we got sold down the river by our own party. Won't matter.

The objective is only to elect Hillary, and nothing beyond that. Policy doesn't matter. Platform doesn't matter. Outcome doesn't matter.

Not for that audience anyway.

She already has the biggest negatives of any candidate running in the general election and will only further drag her and the party down in November.

The speeches she gave as a private citizen to a private company ?

Wish all the other candidates would release the transcripts to all the private speeches & politically associated fundraisers they attended so Hillary can also, then release hers.

27 days and not a chirp from anyone.
Appears no one is actually serious about releasing their transcripts.
Makes one think this finger pointing may be simply a self serving political move to sow some seeds of doubt in one particular candidate while looking past all others. Themselves included.
Appears that way doesn't it.
27 days & not a peep from any candidate.
What have they all got to hide?
It does smack of merely a political move.

Seems like it..
27 days & nothing..cute chirping anyway.
