1. The transcripts, but I'd take both.

[Logical]

3. Me too, I am not worried about Bernies tax returns. Nt

[msanthrope]

2. I'd rather see you treat different-gender candidates equally.....

HRC has released her taxes. Where are Bernie's?

[Logical]

5. Hillary KNOWS the transcripts would make her look horrible! Nt

[msanthrope]

12. Because the tax returns, you're good with them? Seriously.....

I doubt she gives a fuck how it makes her "look."

[Logical]

18. Lol, then she would fucking release them, she has decided that....

Hiding them is worth the risk.

Hope someone leaks them at some point. I would love it!

[msanthrope]

22. Funny....you ask the woman in the race to release her taxes and transcripts.....

But where is your call for Sanders Kasich Cruz and Trump to release their taxes?

[Logical]

30. Oh FFS, I love Warren, is she a woman? Lol, nice try! Nt

[msanthrope]

35. Again..... where is your call for all of the men in the race to release their taxes and transcripts?

[Biaviians]

52. This issue has nothing to do with woman anything.

Sanders has to expose the façade that is Hillary Clinton first. After that he will expose the Republican party candidate. Then he will expose the Republicans as fringe party. They will lose their jobs. Voter suppersion will end. The democratic party will rejoice. New and exciting parties will arise and compete in a real way. Democracy will flourish. Everybody wins!!

[Logical]

6. Lol too on bringing gender into this, nice try! Nt

[SoLeftIAmRight]

8. ???

...

[jmg257]

9. Lol! Ok lets demand to see Bernies transcripts too.

[timmymoff]

10. Why do you always bring up gender?

The person using their sex to their advantage is Hillary. She has also used her sex to play the victim. Certainly you remember Her Corporate Majesty claiming Bernie was denigrating her as a woman when he said " we can shout all we want about guns but it won't get us anywhere"? I am sure you recall her playing the victim due to her sex then. So drop the crocodile tears nobody likes seeing others cry, be it fake or real.

[msanthrope]

14. When my gender doesn't cause me to get paid less, I'll stop bringing it up. nt

[morningfog]

17. That is idiotic. You pay has jack shit to do with presidential tax returns.

[Autumn]

50. It has everything to do with it. Bernie is a man and Hillary is a woman?

Ergo gender, women getting paid the same as men, taxes and how dare you harp about her transcripts are all one and the same. And when you throw in the fact that Hillary is losing it big time, as in the video below, well there you have it.

I like this video too so I decided to add it

[Logical]

19. Lol, even more not making sense! Nt

[timmymoff]

24. And you think

someone who was willing to cut the fight for minimum wage down to 12 is the one to fight for you?

[Warren Stupidity]

75. perhaps the idea is to reduce wages across the board

in order to bring 'basement equality'. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Politicalboi]

11. What has this got to do with gender?

Most of us want to see BOTH. But I want to see how Hillary talks about the little people behind closed doors. One would think everybody would like to see how they're being talked about. Let's see if she tells them the same thing she tells us.

[morningfog]

16. Nothing. It's a pathetic wedge attempt. Disgraceful.

[msanthrope]

20. Funny.....the woman I the race, who has released her taxes is now being called upon to do more.

Where are the calls for Sanders Kasich Trump and Cruz to release their taxes?????

[morningfog]

13. What a steaming pile of bullshit. For fucks sake.

That is going to get old real fast.

[TeeYiYi]

21. She hasn't released her taxes for 2015.

I suppose I could have just missed it...

TYY

[msanthrope]

23. they aren't due and owing yet, are they? nt

[TeeYiYi]

37. I guess not.

Give it two weeks...

I thought I was the only one who filed taxes at the post office drive through, on the day they are due.

As a last minute tax filer, I do enjoy getting that free Krispy Kreme donut for my efforts...

TYY

[msanthrope]

34. They ain't due and owing, yet. And of course, in the spirit if equality, you

Will call on the Sanders campaign to release them on the same date, won't you?

[TeeYiYi]

42. I thought it went without saying...

...that any tax returns would include 2015. That goes for both candidates.

TYY

[pangaia]

27. Different gender...

WTF does that have to do with anything ????

[slipslidingaway]

39. So tired of people focusing on genger, race but Clinton's email today was selling goods to help ...

elect her as the first woman president. Imagine if an email from the Sander's campaign said 'vote for me as the first Jewish president?

I signed up just to see the emails, everyday they just want a dollar, but today they are selling shirts as being part of history for the first woman president ... sad.

[Autumn]

44. Rather strange remark yet totally expected.

[slipslidingaway]

31. Seriously why bring up gender, must have been an email from Clinton campaign today ...

"What's made for History:

A limited edition collection from fashion's biggest names, designed to help elect the first the first woman president of the United States and Democrats from coast to coast."

Vote for me, I am woman!!!

[bvf]

53. What?

[rhett o rick]

64. And there goes the gender card. Clinton told Goldman-Sachs the truth as to her positions.

We would love to see what she told them. Maybe she said, "Shame on you guys, naughty, naughty, you shouldn't steal the retirements of widows. LOL. Just joking. Please make my check out to cash."

[Warren Stupidity]

68. Ok I demand we see Bernie's Wall Street transcripts.

[JackRiddler]

4. There is no doubt whatsoever I'll see Bernie's tax returns.

And they will be boring as hell. This is a completely (and incompetently) made-up issue.

So yeah, give us something interesting: the speech transcripts.

[Beacool]

7. I don't give a fig about seeing either one.

[Hiraeth]

15. Math or English?

[msongs]

25. oh look another online poll won by the bernie crowd. nt

[MattP]

26. The only reason you know about the speeches is her tax returns

We have no idea what Bernie has in is because he is not forthcoming, 1 1040 isn't enough and nobody has ever released speeches ever

[Logical]

32. Lol, no, people have mentioned seeing the speeches! Nice try! Nt

[rhett o rick]

65. Please try to keep perspective. Clinton has acquired over $50 million dollars and Sanders less

than 1/100th of that. Who is most apt to have something to hide?

[beam me up scottie]

28. I've seen his financial disclosures, the tax returns won't reveal anything.

On the other hand I would like to know just what kind of advice she gave Wall Street that was worth millions.

[nc4bo]

71. Clinton Foundation's 1100 mystery donations, the American version of the Panama Papers

And what was in those 30,000 deleted emails are of great interest to me. Why were they deleted?

Oh yes, can't forget wth was said in those speeches and why Hillary thought it was ok to set up her own personal server rather than using State Depts' servers.

I've got a list. Bernie Sanders' tax returns are more than likely a non-story but not so sure about Clinton, Inc.

[felix_numinous]

29. The difference is, we can expect an answer from Sanders

he always answers the vital questions. Clinton has the trust problem, and wants to distract from all the conflict of interests she doesn't want to answer for.

[NanceGreggs]

33. ...

...

It's always funny to see these DU polls, given that 85% or more posters here are BS supporters.

It's always a SHOCKER! to see how they turn out!!!

[daleanime]

41. $150,000 for a year.....

or $250,000 for an hour. Could that be a reason for which one I would more like to see?

[NanceGreggs]

45. I think if you posted the same poll in the real world ...

... the result would be markedly different.

[daleanime]

49. So the question is moot....

because there may be other questions? I'd still like mine answered. Not that I expect it will be, but have a good night anyways.

[Logical]

43. Yes, real dems vs right leaning ones, like you. Still confused? Nt

[NanceGreggs]

46. Ah ...

... so quaint.

Still believing that if DUers designate someone as "real Dems" or "right-leaning", that means something in real life.

[Logical]

51. Unless you are even more confused that politics do not matter! Remember...

You used to not like Hillary.

[NanceGreggs]

57. Politics matter.

DU's opinion of politics doesn't.

[Hydra]

55. You mean there's no difference in Left wing vs Right wing?

Who knew?

[NanceGreggs]

56. Yes, there's a difference.

But it's not up to DU to determine who stands where.

In fact, when it comes to anything to do with the Democratic Party and its members, DU is in no position to determine anything.

[Hydra]

58. Oh, so it's not up to the people of the US to determine where their candidates stand?

You know that silly thing of, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people..."?

So we're just supposed to leave silly details like that up to the people in charge, and we have no say in it? Wow, that's a good one!

[NanceGreggs]

61. I didn't say anything about the People of the US ...

... not determining where the candidates stand.

What I said was: "But it's not up to DU to determine who stands where." And it's not.

"The People" have been speaking their minds since Iowa. The vast majority of Democrats want HRC as their nominee.

Funny how "the People" don't count - unless they're Bernie supporters.

[Hydra]

62. LOL

My state said 80/20 we want Bernie. I'm a person in the US, and a member of DU. And the people of Iowa spoke loudly: "We're not sure about Hillary Clinton. We may want to try the old socialist guy."

[DesertFlower]

63. i've been posting on DU snice '05

and i've never met another person who posts here. when i mention it no one knows what i'm talking about. that's how important DU is.

[LanternWaste]

69. No doubt, you'll allege to know the difference, yes?

No doubt, you'll allege to know the difference, yes? Regardless of the irrelevancy of whether you're still confused or not?


And, to assist your admitted linguistic and usage skill limitations, I offer you (Allege: verb- to assert without proof)

[Marr]

84. I agree it's always shocking to see just how microscopic the pro-Hillary group is,

considering the noise they make.

[cantbeserious]

36. The Transcripts - This Citizen Wants To Understand What She Has Promised The 1%

eom

[Autumn]

38. Hill's transcripts. I want to hear what she says that is so valuable to them. I doubt

she gets paid that much because she is so damned charming, it has to be something else.

[daleanime]

40. One is around $150,000 for a year.....

the other is $250,000 for an hour?, or is it an half an hour?, which do you think I'd want to see?

[basselope]

47. I don't get the whole tax return thing.

His financial summaries are available going back for like forever.

Not sure what they expect to find in a tax return.. we are dealing with a guy who has never had a net worth over 500K

[ZombieHorde]

48. This is a tough one for me.

I like Sanders, for the most part, and the fact that he hasn't released them yet looks bad.

The transcripts are probably pretty interesting though. They probably didn't pay her that much to give them a lecture on morality and social justice.

[Hydra]

54. I want to see both

But I assume we'll never see the transcripts, so I voted for that. We'll see Bernie's taxes sometime this week, and Team Hill will be back to calling us racists and sexists again. Oh, wait- sexists in first post. I guess that's the default go-to when nothing else is available.

[Recursion]

59. Can't bring myself to care about either, though I see both work different people up pretty well

I honestly, honestly, could care less which particular vapid bromides Clinton used in her speeches to Goldman Sachs. Honestly. I have trouble believing anyone sincerely thinks she said something besides the usual focus-grouped pablum, but I'll give people the benefit of the doubt on that.

The tax returns thing is even dumber.

[Punkingal]

60. We will see Bernie's tax returns but we will never see those transcripts.

[zappaman]

66. Couldn't care less about either.

[MFM008]

67. NEITHER

I want to see their medical records.

[CalvinballPro]

70. Nothing but evidence that Sanders' $16 million online advertising is effective.

What will the paid internet trolls shoveling coal on the Sanders train do when the money stops? Back to Reddit and their upskirt photo forums, I guess!

[Lizzie Poppet]

72. I don't give a rat's ass about either one.

Bernie's returns are irrelevant and Hillary's transcripts, at this late juncture, couldn't be trusted not to have been scrubbed.

Both of these "issues" are bullshit distractions.

[jcgoldie]

73. Need an option for NEITHER nt

.

[robbedvoter]

74. You only know how much she got for her speeches from her tax returns

ALL candidates, ever release those. Job description (POTUS) includes them taxing us.

[bigwillq]

76. I voted transcripts but should have been a "both" option.

Tax return and transcripts should be released by all candidates.

[matt819]

77. What I'd really like to see

Are trumps returns.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

78. Considering she made as much in a couple of speeches as Bernie's entire net worth,

And those speeches were to the very bankers who helped crash the economy, I think the speech transcripts are slightly more relevant to the election.

[doc03]

79. I can understand why Clinton may not want her transcripts released and she

is under no obligation to release them. But income tax returns, it is expected a presidential candidate
release his tax returns. Just what is he trying to hide?

[Logical]

80. What is hillary trying to hide? nt

[doc03]

81. Like I said she is under no obligation to release any

transcripts. She has released her tax returns just like everyone else but Sanders and Trump.

[Logical]

83. She knows they will destroy her. Nt

[Turin_C3PO]

82. Both I guess.

I believe in as much transparency as possible.
