Any so called conservative in favor of cutting aid to Egypt is at this point playing into obama’s hand. Cutting aid to Egypt kills Camp David and forces middle eastern nations to look to Moscow and Beijing for support.
Moscow & Beijing may be the best support Egypt can get to battle the islamists. Both have taken hard lines against islamists in the past. The USA, not so much, especially lately.
Obama clearly is not a reliable partner. If anything, he favors the islamists. Actually, he is on the wrong side of everything, & I think the rest of the World realizes this, plus he is a prolific liar, both to his enemies & his friends.
Long term, Hillary will probably follow Obama into the WH. She is at least as disliked & disrespected around the world as incompetent & unreliable. Her lying is easily on a par with Obama.
Egypt's struggle with islamists will not be won or lost any time soon. It could go on for decades or centuries, as it has in most muslim majority countries. For the military to win decisively, they're gonna have to do what they do best - kill people. Eleven more years of Obama/Clinton Politically Correct, hot/cold support could doom Egypt's military, the last bastion against islamism. One has only to look at Iraq & Afghanistan to see how Egypt will fair under the wing of Obama/Clinton.
Historically, US policy toward muslim countries changes with every wind change & election. Our leaders are consumed with religious & cultural sensitivities, things Putin & China don't give a damn about. Russian & Chinese foreign policy will not reverse with the next elections, as it can in the USA.
If I, as head of the Egyptian military, had to choose between Obama & Putin, Putin seems the more reliable partner, especially long term. Putin/China will have no problem with a military dictatorship. Too, I might want to send a harsh message to Obama that neither he nor the world can ignore. The Egyptian military HAS to be real POed at Mubarak's demise. And, if things go real bad with Putin/China, I can always get the US money/support back real easy by telling a few lies which they will be bound & eager to accept.
