Clinton keeps shooting herself in the foot. People have been clamouring for her to release her transcripts for her closed door multi-million dollar wall street speeches. She said last night that she'll release her transcripts if everyone else does. Sanders just called her bluff and started releasing videos of his paid speeches.

Quote:
Hillary Clinton will release transcripts to her paid speeches — just as long as everyone else does too.

“I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same,” Clinton said during Thursday's Democratic town hall in Nevada, before adding that all other candidates had made paid speeches — including her Democratic rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

According to The New York Times, Sanders made just under $2,000 for three speeches in 2014, a fraction of what Clinton has made.

The former secretary of state made $675,000 for three speeches for Goldman Sachs. When asked during a previous televised town hall event why she accepted so much money, she responded, "Well, that’s what they offered.”

Clinton's aides and allies have sought to downplay the need to release her speech transcripts.

Her pollster, Joel Benenson, said at a Wall Street Journal breakfast on Feb. 5, "I don't think voters are interested in the transcripts of her speeches."

How is anyone supporting Clinton right now given how badly she destroys herself consistently and how much baggage she has. She'll get destroyed by GOP mud slinging in the general from the emails, Benghazi, and other scandals.
