http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/22/editorial-congress-failed-benghazi-responsibility/ The House leadership, when it is installed and settled, should press for a new way to conduct oversight. There should be fewer speeches by members tailored for re-election campaign commercials and better questions from the members of the committee and their lawyers. Mr. Gowdy is a former federal prosecutor but his performance Thursday hardly demonstrated that. The hearing was undisciplined in time and narrative. Learning from this hearing, making oversight more effective, would be a way to honor the four Americans who gave their lives for their country at Benghazi. They deserved better than they got from Hillary Clinton the night they died, and they deserve better than they got Thursday from the Republicans on the Benghazi committee.

The MSM who declared Hillary “won big” at the Hearings want more political advertisements to pay for their comments. They are all probably Democrats who are going to support Democrats. The Democrats at the hearings said the Republicans are playing politics when everything the Democrats do is playing politics. The MSM plays politics and Obama plays politics with everything including the military. The MSM could care less about the truth. They care only about promoting Democrats and profiting from their own propaganda. Hillary will generate money for them.
These things were new...
The republicans owe it to the people of America to have a strategy and to always bring their A players. Did they do that Thursday?
THe Repubbies just gave Hillary 11 hours of free TV and a big boost in her poll numbers.
Dud they wing her 6 or 8 times?
Yes.
Did they deal her a stunning blow?
Hell no.

“The Repubbies just gave a big boost in her poll numbers.”
Where?
The way the GOPE set the committee up was destined to fail, in spite of the odds against it, Trey tried to polish that turd.
I refuse to believe hitlery is that smart and Trey is that stupid. It was a setup-to fail from the get-go, blame the gopee leadership, they own this failure.
What a waste of effort. Congress should just come on home.
I like Chris Plante’s (radio talk show host) comment today, “The GOP Bengazi Committee couldn’t even convict Lee Harvey Oswald ...”
>> The republicans owe it to the people of America to have a strategy
The strategy is most often an exercise in placating the Right and giving gifts to the Left.
Just another part of History that will be scrubbed!
She lied and abandoned her job just like she abandoned her job when she was Senator and will abandon her job if God forbid she is elected President.
Wait and see.....
Media missed the whole point of her role and reported the superficial, committee Republicans didn’t help by not sticking to short concise questions to keep her appearance brief as possible.
She likely was operating under limitations, the whole operation was being micromanaged, and the committee just has to nail down some facts about who.
Gowdy was on Greta explaining some of this, but I missed the beginning, so I am still trying to see the valid points thanks to a superficial media that won’t report negative on Hillary...
You said..
“Wait and see”
So you believe that all of a sudden her poll numbers will rise and people will decide she really is honest and trustworthy and will be chomping at the bit to put her in the WH?
The problem there is that Chris Plante apparently doesn't know the difference between a HEARING and a TRIAL.
She didn’t abandon her job, she OUTSOURCED it.
1. I do believe her poll numbers will rise. Partly because many people feel that she has weathered the worst of the Benghazi scandal and partly because she will pick up other democrat voters as the other democrat candidates drop out.
2. I don't believe that people will decide she is really honest or trustworthy.
3. IMHO I think that one of the following apply to the people who will vote for her:
4. There are already many voters chomping at the bit to put her in the White House.
5. The demographics and voter trends favor the democrat candidate. Likely voters will start to pay more attention about six months from now. That is when the increasing minority base and decreasing white middle class base will begin to work to her advantage.
She has the money to pay the networks off with campaign ads. That is how these Democrat msm talking heads earn their money. Praise Hillary and get a check.
