I spent most of a whole day last week watching the spectacle of Hillary Clinton’s testimony before the select committee on Benghazi.

In their latest salvo, Clinton ally David Brock has filed an ethics complaint alleging that Benghazi Committee Chairman TreyGowdy, R-S.C., inappropriately disclosed private information about a GOP whistle-blower whoclaimed the committee was specifically targeting Clinton. One of them was from Clinton to her daughter Chelsea on the night of the Benghazi attack and suggested that Clinton knew al Qaeda-linked terrorists were involved from the beginning, though members of the administration continued to blame the attack on an anti-Islam video.
However, Clinton managed to get in a few jabs of her own – and seemed to be enjoying it – as she tweeted and live-texted her supporters. “In your heart of hearts, you want to see a debate between Carly Fiorina and Hillary Clinton”.
In Atlanta, Clinton will call for equal prison sentences for crack and powder cocaine offenders and legislation that bans federal, state and local law enforcement from relying on ethnicity when initiating routine investigations, her campaign said.
“Here’s what I would hate more, and that is to wake up on the first Wednesday of November in 2016 to the news that Hillary Clinton has been elected president of the United States”, Rubio said.
Given the chance to follow-up on the clash between still-large field of candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, and most notably a memorable exchange with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Rubio said in a series of interviews he’d rather talk about Clinton.
Ted Cruz snapped at the moderators for not asking substantive questions.
But Rubio’s biggest moment was arguably when he shifted the topic of money in politics to the mainstream media, pointing out that corporate news outlets provide unbalanced liberal support. “This is not a cage match…”
That thought was quickly lost when it came to talking about our national security, the most important issue America will ever face.
Trump also described the questions posed by CNBC moderators Becky Quick, John Harwood, and Carl Quintanilla as “nasty and ridiculous”. Isn’t it clear that the MSM will treat Republicans nicely until they criticize Democrats?
The two candidates hold nearly half of the Republican votes while the rest of the candidates are still in single-digit territory.

The audience loved her answer and gave her a round of applause and cheers for it, even though Clinton didn’t address specific facts from the cases mentioned.
