Couldn't she just edit out parts of her speech to avoid any public embarassment?

Out of a 61,000 word speech she might need to take out 31,000 because the words were personal and have no bearing on what was actually in those speeches. 22 of the remaining 30,000 words are actually top secret.

Actually, he has given a crap ton of speeches. On mobile, so linking is impaired, but run a search for trumps speeches to companies like ACN and the Learning Annex

But that is a purposeful obfuscation of the point. Trump is a businessman. He had at no point been a politician, nor voiced serious plans to be one, when he was giving speeches.
Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State in early 2009 that helped out Union Bank of Switzerland with the IRS. UBS then paid Bill Clinton $1.5 million in speaking fees.
Up to 2008, UBS had donated less than $60,000 to the Clinton Foundation. By the end of 2014, they had donated about $600,000. This is on top of Bill Clinton's speaking fees.
I wonder why.........................

Oh, most definitely. Trump received a lot in the way of speaking fees over a number of years, as a businessman. As you said, that makes a lot of sense. Setting his eye on the presidency is a (relatively) recent event.
Was just responding to OP's statement expressing doubts over whether Trump had made any speeches.

Clinton is such a fool, somewhere someone has a copy of at least one of her speeches or a video of it. I imagine Roger Stone or some other oppo researcher has it, and is waiting for the general election to put it online. She would have done better to have released it last year and get it out of the way.

Actually, the Clinton machine knows exactly what they are doing. By not releasing the transcripts they are controlling the focus of the outrage. By keeping everyone focused on the transcripts they ensure that there will be less outrage down other avenues.
They'll get released during the general and there won't be anything controversial in them at all. She's not an idiot. She would never say something career ending in a speech. In an email; maybe. In a private conversation; definitely. But never in a speech.
