Fact: There were requests for more security. Fact: requests were not granted

Not enough evidence: To prove whether Hillary personally signed the cables.

Hillary was in charge and should have known that one of her ambassadors needed more security in one of the hottest regions her dept. was involved in. Just because she is not criminally liable for their deaths does not change the fact that she was a shitty leader.

State Department is a massive entity that operates a certain way regardless of who is leading it, much like the government. Hillary isn’t personally involved in or briefed on every decision DoS makes.

#47

The clownpublicans wasted too much time and energy on Benghazi. Had they not come off as whiney biotches they could have really hammered Clinton over the latest FBI scandal, instead of looking like chicken little.

It’s just a marketing choice. It’s complicated to explain why the email thing matters. However, it’s easy to say, OMG she killed Jim from the Office.

Would you rather a leader that doesn’t know what Aleppo is, or a leader partially responsible for the situation in Aleppo?

^Hold on. A politician that admits making mistakes? That’s so…unpresidential. Presidents should never admit failure.

GJ was on The View later in the day and Joy Behr (or whatever her name is) said that blunder, as her vote goes, disqualifies him as a canidate. GJ responded with a polite, “that’s your right.” But, I guess Joy values being able to answer poorly worded questions on geography over being honest. Seriously. Both Trump and Clinton are outright liars. Trump does it to be bombastic and Clinton does it because she’s evil. Either way, at least GJ is honest.

So unpresidential…

Unfortunately that is the state of politics in the US (Not to invoke PA or anything). The people who are calling this a “disqualifier” were not going to vote for him anyway and are looking for reasons to affirm their candidate choice. Because there are few redeeming qualities about Hillary or Trump, the easiest approach is to point out the opposing sides flaws and say well at least he/she didn’t do that. There is so much “gotch’a” crap going on in the media that nobody gets to hear about the real issues or how the candidates would handle them. Would be nice if GJ could get a spot in the debates but It probably will not happen.

Meanwhile, Gary Johnson weighs in on the latest Donald Trump scandal.
