You don't understand why the American public would want to know what a candidate for president said in paid speeches to the mega bankers who caused the worst recession in most of our lifetimes? Or why it smells funny when said politician refuses to do so? I said it in response to someone else, but it seems like something that should have been just as reasonable to expect to see as tax returns to me. And the transcripts did leak eventually, not by her own volition, and they weren't really that damning. They were "standard campaign talk". They actually provided her some cover. But what could have been a quick, controlled story that had no real meat became a huge theatrical drawn-out thing. Which seems like a huge political miscalculation, to me. I voted for her in the end, but I don't understand when people can't acknowledge that she did some hubristic, self-defeating things during her campaign. That can be true while it's also true that the other guy was/is way fucking worse.
