Hillary Clinton has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train.
And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband?
Democrats that believe that Hillary is the inevitable candidate, are privately hoping that Team Hillary’s war room eventually develops a satisfactory spin on the issues in these next three years.
They would surely talk about the Hillary Clinton candidacy with crossed fingers and whispers, hoping that the voting American public has “moved on” past the “philandering husband” issue and the “What difference does it make!?” issue that you can bet all of her Democrat primary opponents will air in campaign ads.
Hillary is probably already trying to update, and personalize, the spin that Jay Carney tried to float when he called Benghazi an “old story”, in an attempt to get away with not providing any answers for it.
Team Hillary may get away with such a line of defense, as the issue will be nearly four years old by the time they start running. Knowing Hillary’s usual line of defense, however, it will probably be more along the lines of an “is that all you got, get over it” line of defense.
I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying “I take responsibility” for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately.
The weak response by the Obama administration to that tragedy has given a huge opening to Republicans in the next presidential election. The impression has been amply given that Benghazi was treated as a public relations matter to massage rather than as the major and outrageous attack on the U.S. that it was.
As far as I’m concerned, Hillary disqualified herself for the presidency in that fist-pounding moment at a congressional hearing when she said, “What difference does it make what we knew and when we knew it, Senator?”
