First verbal shots at 2016 Presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton

When I heard the clip from the senator that embarrasses Kentucky daily, my first thought was:
this has nothing to do with any embassy, any safety or anything else but to put Hillary on a stage where they can supposedly show she is not competent to be president. And in case any body missed that they would make sure that Mr. senate embarrassment would make the statement "i would have let you go."

That is all this show was about. Taking their first shots at weakening Hillary for 2016. They are playing their LONG game. Might I add their stupid game also.

whether she runs or not. Republican preventative medicine.
Hillary will be extremely tough for them , especially the way they keep their hate women movement alive

2. 2016? When did Hillary Clinton announce her candidacy

for President in 2016. Is it not at least two years too early to begin the 2016 campaign? Let's focus on 2014.

4. That is EXACTLY my take as I watched that hearing.

The scum r fuckers wanted these hearings in order to question Sec of State Clinton's competency to be president. That's all this kabuki theater regarding Benghazi is and that's all it has been since the very beginning of the RWNJ's obsession with it.

Hillary is tougher than they are and not afraid of them. They should know that by now.

8. Yup, I can see the heavily edited attack ads already, taking responsibility for Benghazi.

It's a witch-hunt to weaken the Democratic party's top candidate (according to polling). Her taking responsibility (when we all know she is at no fault) is an act of CLASS. I've still NEVER heard an apology from the GOP for WMD's (OR for trashing the economy & Constitution in the process).

Early and often..........the whole Rice issue never made sense......still doesn't....they want to stifle Hillary before she decides....it's a strategy and obvious to me...at least IMO

They tried hard...and failed. As usual, Hillary walked away with her dignity and reputation intact. She's paid a heavy price over the decades to serve and to lead and to take more political fertilizer than most.

If that was the best they could come up with, they might again be addressing yet another ... President Clinton.
