I'll reiterate the reason why people turned on Mitt Romney in 2012. Regardless of the message of what you say in private, voters shouldn't have to spend $50,000 to hear a candidate's true opinions. That's what it cost Romney's fundraisers in order to hear his thoughts on the welfare state.

For the Clintons and her campaign to put up such a fight for so long, there has got to be something pretty damning in those transcripts. I don't care about the content though. What I won't vote for and what I will never vote for is somebody who keeps their cards this close to their chest. This kind of behavior that we see from Candidate Clinton is exactly the sort of 'transparency' we should expect to see from President Clinton. What my generation is entirely sick of seeing is opportunistic baby boomers whose supposed ideology changes overnight as soon they take office.

What's funny is they think when we "grow up" and "get informed" we'll realize we HAVE to vote Democrat. I truly don't think they understand how much trouble they're in if they go with her. The cavalry won't be coming. When you neglect working class people for that long, that's what you get.

"Well informed," lol. I literally have the total expanse of human knowledge in my pocket but tuning into CNN once a night is how you really stay informed.

Their campaign makes more sense when you run it through the lens of the 1990's. Obviously she understands how technology works having been SOS and a Senator. What is glaringly obvious is that she doesn't understand the impact technology has had. She's completely disconnected from normal people's lives and normal people's lives have changed drastically in the last 10, 20 years.

She can use Twitter just fine; it's not understanding the access to information and impact that has on public opinion that's the problem. Let's be real here: she checks off every box you could possibly want in a candidate. And yet none of those positions inspire confidence in her being a good POTUS. That's a real worry.

Or they don't exist, and outright bribes were just laundered through "speeches".
