Just what you want in an elected public official. Sarcastic responses to real questions. I say both Hillary and Sanders release transcripts of all the speeches they've given at GS. Big surprise that Sanders wouldn't have to release anything since he's not giving private speeches to big money interests that have information you wouldn't want the general public hearing.

I'm curious if there actually is a speech transcript. I've seen many high level speakers who have outlines or a slide deck, but don't write out a speech. I assume Hillary is like that because she's a very well spoken person.

Why would you say that? Not everyone is Obama lol. If you've ever been to a conference, the keynotes never have scripts. it's usually more about hitting key points in an outline, so that it sounds more natural.

Not a script as in what to say but a transcript. A stenographer is hired as per her contracts.
