Seriously, Secretary Clinton?

... BS supporters, as well as HRC's worst enemies in the MSM and among the "punditry", had no problem acknowledging that her performance in the Benghazi hearing was downright awe-inspiring - yourself apparently among them.

I understand completely that it has not changed your mind about supporting her candidacy - and that's as it should be. You are focused on other aspects of her campaign, her record, her actions and her statements in assessing her bid for the nomination - and again, your criteria for who gets your support is based on valid questions as to her positions on important issues.

What I don't "get" is people who have found it necessary to diminish her performance before the hearing as "oh, well, anyone would have performed equally as well", when we all know that isn't the case.

I believe in giving credit where it's due, and NOT diminishing someone's ability to stand up to hours of grilling by the GOP, fraught with potential "gotcha!" questions as though - as one DUer put it - "a bunch of teenagers I know could have done the same".

Were BS hauled before such a hearing and was able to come off as cool, calm, collected, able to retrieve information, facts, and dates without hesitation and without ever losing his temper or his concentration, I would laud him from the rooftops for his ability to do so. It would not change my support for HRC - but I would never attempt to diminish Bernie's accomplishment in having performed above-and-beyond what was required under the circumstances.

It is unfortunate that some BS supporters (you apparently not being among them) would rather twist themselves into pretzels rather than admit that Hillary performed admirably.
