No, I don't want to see the transcripts. For me it is just a non issue and distraction. If they were released, there would be the back and forth about what was said and then clarifications. All for a non issue, that I don't care about. But I don't view wall street as the nemesis of our times, so that probably influences my interest in the topic.
Another Clinton 1/2 Truth. What other candidates have been paid millions by Wall Street Banksters to give speeches?
Bernie fails to mention that he CANNOT accept paid speeches as long as he is a Senator. He just prefers to give the impression that was just too 'pure' to do it.
I'm the one who wanted to see Obama's college transcripts because I bet he flunked Economics.
Maybe you didn't get to see his transcripts but you do know that the people that mattered did, right? I mean, you don't think they check out the most powerful man in the free world with a fine tooth comb? But this is the part I don't understand... why does it matter what a president knew prior to taking office? Once they get in the Oval Office they command access to a brain trust of specialists whose combined expertise eclipses anything any one president could acquire in two lifetimes of education. Few people could mess up too badly, given that quality of support staff. Even Trump has better than even odds. That's saying a lot. That's why it has been possible to elect actors, playboys and washout warriors to the highest office in the land without seriously jeopardizing our ranking as preeminent Superpower. Why wasn't that enough in Obama's case? -

A bit disingenuous but that's our Bernie.
Yet Clinton, a former US Senator, must know this too. But she demands that Bernie release transcripts that she knows doesn't exist. This speaks for itself.
Hillary Clinton is nothing but a liar. She won't release those transcripts because she doesn't want the public to know what she has promised those over paid bankers.
The majority of the rest would rather make excuses for her.

You can blame our winner take all, run-off election system, for this kind of negative campaigning. Sanders and Clinton are both fighting for their political lives. Its evil and ugly, and it really shouldn't be. I think they have done well to stay as civil as they have towards each other for as long as they did. America needs to scrap the run-off Primary system and elect party nominees the way the Brits do: in closed door vetting by peer politicians. I accept that in such a system an Obama might never have been put forth as a nominee but I don't know that for sure. What I do know is that pitting candidates from the same party against one another in front of the electorate is not much better than bloodsports like mud wrestling or mixed martial arts.
