If Secretary Clinton gives her standard answer on the transcripts at the debate

You know "I'll release them if the Republicans release theirs" There needs to be some follow up. Why is that your standard for releasing your speeches? What speeches exactly do you want them to release? Why do you care what Republicans do? How can you continue to call yourself the most transparent candidate in history if you can't share with the public what bankers paid you millions of dollars to say to them? I'm not holding my breath.

From a wonderful DUer:

If she continues to sandbag the transcripts,

then the issue becomes What is Hillary hiding?
and Why is she so afraid to release the transcripts of paid speeches?


I liked it.

That answer is ridiculous. It makes no sense. But then again, every journalist just seems to take it and move on, so maybe it's the perfect answer.

Leaders don't say, "You go first," followers do.
