rather than doing the right thing.
Way to move the goalpost where all of a sudden republicans become a factor in a democratic race where the establishment have disenfranchised, demonized and marginalized millions of potential voters who could help democrats win the election.

Instead, it's the "3rd way" and "lesser of two evils" we are offered with an insult and demand gratitude in return.

Sorry. But I wonder why you are so eager to keep those Wall Street transcript secret if they are not a big deal.

And both you and I know that Hell will freeze over before Ted Cruz gives up any transcripts from any non political pep talk to Goldman Sachs when not in office.

We know where Ted Cruz comes from. No secrets there. Whatever will come from that side will be no surprise. But then again, he is not running a progressive ticket or claim transparency,

Your "transparent" candidate do have a lot of secrets.

And you are obviously too blind to see that 150 million dollars creates a hell of a lot of conflicts of interests.

She attacks Bernie for supporting the gun industry in a malicious manner against victims of mass shootings while running off to a fundraiser arranged by an NRA lobbyist.
But you as a Hillary supporter do not have the principles nor the foresight to actually see how ridiculously hypocritical that is.

She takes money from an arms industry who sells weapons to Saudi Arabia who again uses those weapons to slaughter women and children in Yemen. And she has the audacity to call Bernie a supporter of mass killers.

Again, Hillary supporters are so bat shit blind that they don't see the discrepancies between actions, words, and campaign memes created as "artful smears" taken out of Karl Rove's playbook.

She claims she cares about immigrants, but advocates to send kids back to the military juntas she supported.

She claims she cares more about AA, but is the only one calling them Super-predators while the actual policies have created harm for a generation. Instead of looking at the root cause of the problem, she went after the weakest in our society, crucifying them to satisfy the white racists who have been listening to Rush Limbaugh for years already.

She claims she's a trailblazer for LGBT rights, but was only for giving them full citizenship rights like the right to marry after 2010.
She takes credit for fighting for a 15 dollars minimum wage, but have scorned Bernie in public that 15 dollars an hour is "too much" and unrealistic. Just as realistic as the speeches she gave to the real super-predators are actually so good that they worth more than a senators annual pay?

One meme, is that the liberal Jew with the same sentiments as the Sermon on the Mount because he follows his principles is anti-Israel because he merelly stated that Palestinians are humans too with the same rights as Israelis and that not even Israel is above the law.

She has switboated Bernie on his strongest issues, painting him in the south as a racist who only cares about the education of white kids because he doesn't pander and play identity politics for the moment like Hillary does. She showed her true colors and attitudes towards African Americans and BLM on two instances. Yet she gets a free pass, and Bernie portrayed as a racist despite the fact that he has never said anything that resembles the dog whistles of Hillary.
Why? Because according to the Hillary zealots, he was almost singlehandedly responsible for a crime bill that the president signed just to target black kids. Even though he was giving a speech in Congress against this bill in 1994. Again an example of selective memory from the Hillary camp, or just plain dishonesty in the Game of Smears. And they don't see themselves too good to throw both the Pope, the poor and Bernie under the bus just because Bernie once pointed the finger in the direction of Hillary, reminding her that it's rude to interrupt when other people are talking.
When she is doing that, it means she doesn't give a flying F about common decency or take anything he say seriously. Which makes me wonder if we shall take her parroting of Bernie seriously.

When she proves herslef a true leader, she will jump in the water first, and then ask the republicans if they have the balls to do the same.
Something tells me she will only reject, deflect and project in the nearest foreseeable future..

the power circles, but takes money from the same people she claims to "cut it out" for then to run for Office while taking more money from the same people, it makes her speeches of public interests.
Especially when she claims she is tough on the banks but refuse to prove it.

She's the perfect example of the revolving door from Washington and Wall Street & vice versa.

Why are Hillary supporters so scared of having these transcripts publicised if they are no big deal and will not compromise her alleged progressive principles?

You were one of those freaking out about the Vatican trip when links to taxes were posted, so you can search for them yourself. I don't care, so I'm not doing your work for you.

He made the trip to speak on a moral issue he cares deeply about. Understandable that that's beyond the comprehension of Clinton supporters.
