The lies that were told about Benghazi, and the fact that, after a full year, an honest accounting has yet to be made, has caused all conservatives and a (very) few honest liberals to oppugn the Regime’s handling of the matter.

The problem with inferring overall opinion from your Twitter feed is that you probably follow like-minded people. I don't follow any liberals. If I want to hear their drivel, I can tune the tv to any one of several channels, or I can read their crap in the NY Times.

A+++ for making me laugh.

This is a battle for the soul of the Republican party.

Cruz went out of his way to raise Bernie Sanders as a man of Principle.

This bunch, is IMHO going apeshit on their own party.

Get one of these guys at 1600, and the rest in influential positions.

Disappointed to not see Cornyn.
