Would a Republican nominee have the requisite courage? Or would he fear a backlash from female voters offended about suggestions that the first woman candidate for president is, simultaneously, too weak and too conniving for the job?

Almost certainly the answer is yes. It would be tricky I admit, mainly because the media will come to her defense, but IF the GOP candidate does it well enough and DOESN'T sound apologetic about it, it could work. One danger would be that the GOP candidate starts to bring it up, then mostly drops it after the initial massive retaliation from the media/Democrats. They would have to be ready for that and keep on slugging. There's also the likelihood that they would fail to explain it well enough as GOP candidates almost always fail to do

They should portray her as dishonest and use that exchange where she says "What difference does it make?" in commercials. Just run that over and over with Hicks saying "We knew it was a terrorist attack from the get go" etc.

Culpable? That’s an awful big word for the low-information voter to process. All they know is that Robert Culp co-starred with Bill Cosby and that he’s dead.

In the commercial, following up the "What difference does it make?" with an answer (punctuated by the images of the four dead): "The lives of four patriotic Americans, that's the difference!"

Looks like our Dark-Skinned Male President is clearing the path for his wife to succeed him as Presidentette.

Okay, I will, as is my wont, tell the Republicans how to handle this.

Get some movies/video of those four Americans...maybe playing with their dog, hugging their child....something like that. Make a montage of all four of the dead guys, cute little scenes that show them doing what Americans do when not being left to die by their own countrymen.

Now, after a nice montage of video clips guaranteed to bring tears, get that awful shrill woman’s yelling...”WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?”

Make sure the video montage has the dead men’s names, the names of their dog....make it maudlin....put up short verbiage clips like what they wanted to do someday, dreams they...pay some Hollywood dude to make a great little clip. For enough money anything can be done.

All the while have Hillary keep asking over and over...

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!

Americans will be screaming for that awful Hillary woman who is the WORST Secretary of State EVER and her Obama enablers.

This is just a resume enhancement for her.

What difference, at this point in time, does it make?

If the objective is to avoid inciting women the GOP-e would almost certainly run the weakest possible candidate ~ that would be Romney or Chris Christie ~

If the objective is to save America from the dogs, the GOP-e must be exterminated now ~ not later.

OK, so we’re now supposed to be more concerned about private citizen Hitlery running for president in 2016 than the traitor in the white hut committing crimes and “fundamentally transforming America”?

Hillary is 49% responsible for this. Barry is 51% culpable.

She was SOS, but he was the boss.

It’s in Joe Biden’s interest to see that the scandal is laid at Clinton’s feet. He is running for president already.

“They should portray her as dishonest and use that exchange where she says “What difference does it make?” in commercials. Just run that over and over”........

I would be doing this every day from now until after the election. Her political career needs to be gone and done with FOREVER, much like Odumbo and the rest of his ilk.

If I were “Congress” I would hold the hearings; make sure that this failure is the legacy of the Clinton SoS by using the words failure and dereliction of duty over and over again. Show how she actively worked to get those men killed. See how far you can take it.

Maybe try for a special prosecutor.

If that wasn’t enough then I would give the Congressional Medal of Honor that is given to citizens by Congress to the 4 people who were murdered. Big ceremony, maybe a big parade. Televised. Make sure that it is known that Hillary was specifically not invited by the families.

Then I would bring back the families in 2016 if Hillary starts to run for Presidential office to remind people of what a callous failure she was. Have them hold up the medals and ask America not to let their sons be betrayed again.

It isn’t that she just a flaming liberal - it’s that she’s an heartless, corrupt idiot who is totally unqualified for office. She must be taken out of politics.

But, hey, what do I know.

Cicero would have probably put it: "Ceterum censeo GOP-e esse delendam".

Actually, I know he'd put it that way ~ a similar enemy ~ only interested in itself, Carthage, like the GOP-e, would rather have it's own candidates lose than allow a traditionalist, social conservative, fiscal conservative, defense conservative or right to lifer run the race!

Carthage was always more difficult with its allies and coalition partners than it was with Rome!

First, it’s far from clear that, in 2016, the electorate will still care much about what happened in Benghazi (did it ever?) and about subsequent lying about the nature of the attacks.

In order for the public to be concerned, they have to be told by the MSM to be concerned. And, the MSM will not do that. Can you I imagine if Nixon was a Democrat? Watergate would only be some relatively unknown Washington DC hotel.

I can't fathom why, but the GOPe won't use this to advantage. If this was not the truth, then starting tomorrow we should see Congresscritters talking about this in every interview using the terms ‘political cover up” and “blatant lie to the public”, “treasonous dereliction of duty”, “special prosecutor” and “Impeachable offense”. But I have doubts we will hear anything stronger than “needs more investigation”.

Hilliary is guilty for her actions before and after the attack. (ignoring security problem, hiring 17th martyr brigade; cover-up)

Obama is guilty for his actions during and after the attack. (allowing al qaeda to attack without resistance, no reinforcements/rescuers; Cover-up)
