Hillary Campaign in Panic After Disastrous Dem Debate Performance
Most people who are watching the current election season closely will admit that the action on the Democratic side has been generally less than exciting. Bernie Sanders certainly tried to change that in this most recent debate. The Socialist emerged looking for a fight and did his best to land a few blows on the frontrunner, Hillary Clinton.
But the best exchange of the night didn’t involve Sanders at all.
Debate moderator, Dana Bash – not generally known for offering Democrats challenging questions – refused to let Hillary wiggle out of giving a straight answer as to why she won’t release the transcripts of her Goldman Sachs speeches. Those infamous speeches that she was paid $675,000 for.
Clinton first attempted to dodge the question by bringing up some incoherent point about the Great Recession and how Sanders voted to “deregulate swaps and derivatives.”
She rattled off a laundry list of villains responsible for ‘the Great Recession’ and wandered away so far from the point that when Bash brought her back, she appeared stunned and lost.
She quickly resorted to a sad version of, ‘I’ll do it only if everyone else does it, too.’ Then attacked Donald Trump for not releasing his tax records.
It seems like a ridiculous thing for a candidate to dig her heels in so deep on. But the fact that she continues to refuse to do it and only points to the guilt of others to assuage her own guilt makes one think there may be some meat on those bones.
What do you think Hillary is hiding in those Goldman Sachs transcripts?
