Re: The Transcripts:



It's not just Wall Street. According to an Associated Press review, most companies and groups that paid Clinton to speak between 2013 and 2015 have lobbied federal agencies in recent years, and more than one-third are government contractors.

The review showed that almost all the 82 corporations, trade associations and other groups that paid for or sponsored her speeches have actively sought to sway the government in some form.

smart, they will look at the success of Bernie's campaign and make a wise decision. No matter what horse got you here, it's time to decide - are you with and for the people, or are you with and for the banks and corporations?

If you'd like a lasting legacy. If you'd like to do something striking and different for a change, you will seize the moment and the opportunity and ride a Progressive/Populist horse to victory.

they don't want to repeat them.

I leave room for everyone to improve, for everyone to learn.

We have been flogging the residue of Ronald Reagan-light for too long now. It is time for something very different. And whether it is Bernie leading the charge or Hillary, the time is ABSOLUTELY RIPE for a Progressive juggernaut into the White House.

Anything else that is different than that is probably doomed to failure.
