Hillary Rodham Clinton retains broad public support for her performance as secretary of state, a sign that President Obama’s struggles abroad and Republican attacks over Benghazi have not been a major drag on her reputation.
“More people blame the White House than they blame the secretary of state, and that strikes me as quite appropriate,” said Kori Schake, a former State Department official during the George W. Bush administration. The public “admires Secretary Clinton’s toughness and how much she got out there and tried to do stuff.”
With many of the Obama administration’s foreign policy priorities still unresolved, Clinton has struggled publicly to identify her biggest accomplishment. But supporters say that it is unfair given her role as part of Obama’s “team of rivals” in the first term.

This isn’t reporting. It’s called “push news” to tell people what to think. Pathetic.

Nothing the main stream media does today can be considered reporting.

“Retains broad public support?”
They must be kidding.
Hitlery is even more polarizing than Obama, and that’s saying quite a lot.

Interesting. I would not have known that.
Even more interesting. I STILL do not know that.

The best predictor of a person’s future behavior is that person’s past behavior. It holds true for Hillary.

She left right after the 2012 election to distance herself from Obama and Benghazi.
The second term is looking like a disaster and Hillary will portray herself as the one who is going to make things better.
