Why I think tea party strategy is backfiring on Benghazi

I've had a big jump in Hillary merchandise sales in the past 2 days, especially bumper stickers. With no additional advertising.

These attacks on her by the tea party are just making people more determined to support her. In essence, the tea party is doing advertising for my store now because they are generating buys for me.

Nothing really to do with her. I just don't like it that a few families tend to dominate American politics (Kennedy's, Bush's, Udall, etc). I would probably have hoped for someone else I could get behind, like I did Obama in 08.

I know the current round of Benghazi-gate is all about Hillary 2016, not Obama 2012. It really has made me much more supportive of Hillary, frankly, so that supports what you are seeing.

The whole thing is a disgusting display by Republickers. Worst scandal ever? How? There was no crime committed (by an American official anyway). If there wasn't a crime, there was nothing to cover-up, so there was no cover-up.
