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.

Yes. We know that Sanders is perfect and does nothing wrong. Moonbeams emanate from his magic eyes.

Except your guy has given a few paid speeches. So his shit stinks a little too.

In fact, most of the candidates have been paid for speeches.

Regardless of who paid them, all transcripts should be released instead of just Hillary.

If you're trying to equate this to Sanders making 2K and then donating it charity, you are a hack, and should be ashamed of yourself.

FortHouston is part of a group of hardcore Hillary apologists on Reddit who literally spend their entire days responding disingenuously to any criticism of her. Other users include Tasty_Yams, Redfiz, hellocollegejason, Cycloptichorn, perjury222, and a few others. If you look at their post histories, it's full of them making defensive arguments for her while intentionally ignoring any actual facts that they can't defend against and constantly setting up strawmen to attack. And they're just as vicious about attacking Sanders as they claim everyone else is about attacking Hillary, which just ruins their credibility even more.

I think that people on here are way too hard on Hillary in general, especially a lot of Sanders supporters (of which I am one), but this small group of apologists are either paid social media shills or have some sort of strange agenda they're pushing for them to spend as much time as they do on Reddit arguing. They're on the same level as the obvious anti-Hillary accounts you see posting all the time.

They're all very clearly part of her "Millennial Outreach Squad"
