Republicans Are Absolutely Terrified of Hillary Clinton

I’ve seen a lot of political ridiculousness in my lifetime, but this Benghazi obsession by the right-wing media is some kind of next-level insanity.

But it’s not just their media—in January, Rand Paul called Benghazi the “worst tragedy since 9/11.”

No, seriously, he said that.

Personally, I’d say the over 4,000 American deaths in Iraq, a war which produced exactly zero WMD’s and had nothing to do with the attack on September 11, 2001, would be considered a worse tragedy.

But that’s how pathetic many conservatives have acted when it comes to the terrorist attack in Benghazi.

They do not have a platform which entices voters to vote for them. They hate Latino and are surprised the Latino vote against them. They hate blacks so the black vote against them. They hate women so the women vote against them. When your platform is built on hate you end up with a gang of haters,hows it working for them.

If I were a Hillary hater, I would be terrified of that too.
But Jeb Bush gotta try, he has no other way of winning.

First, I feel she has earned a shot. She has been a real trooper for the cause.

But, the true knuckledraggers of the GOP would not be able to contain themselves. The "socialist Kenyan" and other thinly veiled euphamisms directed toward Obama would be replaced by a direct, overt barrage of hatred like we have never witnessed. And THAT is why I believe the thinkers among the Republicans (as few in number as they may be) would dread a Hillary campaign.
