Remember how the Repubs used to attack Hillary when Bill was President??

For those that are now proclaiming Hillary a shoo-in to be the next President, I would suggest that it is a little naive to think that. The Republicans would dig up Vince Foster and unroll that rug she buried him in and it would start all over. Her 65% approval today would not be that high once the Right Wing Attack Machine got in gear. That is the one thing you can bet on.

Yesterday's hearing was just a taste of how they would attack. No matter how history might record the Benghazi attack, the Repubs will hold on to it as an issue until it withers and turns to dust.

Expect nothing else! But, they'd do it for ANY nomination, not just Hillary - and who knows if she even wants to run for President? Quite recently, even Gingrich claimed that the GOP had no one who could run against Hillary Clinton, and I think he's right on that thought.

noboody cares about any of that crap.

that is so 1980s.

whereas anyone else hasn't been vetted, and who knows what is in their closet?

It takes a Clinton to beat a Bush.

and it took a Ralph Nader to toss the election to Bush in 2000.
The approval rating of any 3rd party to a democratic voter is like negative 50%.

Remember John "the populist he said" Edwards? Fraud of a candidate he was. Totally unvetted, and thank God, he never was the nominee. He was the single worst vice President pick ever, and that includes Sarah Palin.WTF was John Kerry thinking?
