why are these repub candidates talking about Benghazi and HRC?

[CTyankee]

Rand Paul is talking about this afresh. I don't understand...

I mean, wasn't this investigated by a gazillion congressional committees who concluded that she didn't fail to respond to warnings from the consulate in Libya?

Am I forgetting something here?

1. They don't want Hillary as the Democratic nominee

so they are pounding as hard as they can...
She will be the hardest to beat.
They are flinging as much bs as they can.

[jwirr]

6. Actually I think they believe she will be the nominee and have already started the gop campaign

against her.

[hrmjustin]

2. They got nothing so they have to make something out of nothing.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. They are going to fall back on this

Because that's all they've got.

Each one of them knows that Clinton is superior to them. But they will never admit it.

[sufrommich]

4. The whole point of the faux Benghazi outrage

was and is to use it against her in the presidential election,they aren't going to let facts get in the way.

[Autumn]

5. Because they have tied Benghazi to Hillary using unbreakable chains.

We will hear this, and more for the next decade so get used to it. They got nothing else, they are repukes that's what they do. If they rag on Hillary they don't need to talk about themselves.

7. surely you don't think that they care that there's no there there?

[CTyankee]

10. No, but surely they don't think we can't remember when the final report

came out and found NOTHING. It wasn't that long ago. I have memory problems as I get older, but even I remember THAT!

[think]

8. They have no winning ideas of their own to run on /nt

9. The GOOP might have an issue, but they're tied to regime change and unable to admit it was a failure

Benghazi leaves the Republicans in a quandry. They actually supported the policy of serial regime change across MENA, but given what happened (the rise of ISIS and the general decline of the region into chaos) they can't find a way to admit the U.S. was involved in arming and organizing the Jihadist militias in Eastern Libyan to fight in Syria, and that spread into regional sectarian warfare.

So, they obsess on made up non-issues, such as a lack of security for an Ambassador who quite consciously shunned it, and crazy-assed notions that the White House somehow intentionally left Stevens hang out to dry.

11. What else they going to talk about? The economy they tried to destroy? Iraq?

Seriously, they have nothing positive to talk about!
