Tonight's Gonna Be a Lollapallooza

Leaked videos of assault artist and leaked speeches of corporate/banker shill should make this an even better "debate" than the first one.  Unless, of course, the two candidates have gotten together and agreed to a Mexican standoff, considering they are each exposed at the most vulnerable spots.
Hillary Clinton took nearly every precaution to ensure voters would never know what she told investment bankers, lobbyists and corporate executives in dozens of closed-door paid speeches before running for president.

[...]

Some of her remarks give fresh fuel to liberals' worst fears about Clinton, namely that she is a political moderate, happy to cut backroom deals with corporate interests and curry favor with Wall Street for campaign dollars.

[...]

Among the documents posted online was an internal review of the speeches conducted by campaign aides to survey the political damage her remarks could cause if they ever became public.

[...]

"New York is probably the leading site for contributions for fundraising for candidates on both sides of the aisle," she said at the October 2013 investor conference, sponsored by Goldman Sachs.

Do you suppose that might have had anything to do with why a woman from Arkansas took up residence in New York to become that state's senator?

I'd have to knock off MORE Clinton points for not expecting that those speeches would leak, but I'm guessing she DID expect it, but for some reason was certain they wouldn't get out until after she got the nomination. Perhaps for the same reason that she DID get the nomination.

And yet, I don't think any of these revelations will hurt either candidate ito any degree.

  ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
