On Morning Joe tragedy was followed travesty. The tragedy was the deaths of Chris Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Dougherty, and Sean Smith. These were four brave Americans looking to serve their country, not in some cushy post in France or Thailand but rather in Bengazi. No one goes to Bengazi for the nightlife or the food. Their service was the hard work that needs to be done. In an impure world their work was pure and done out of love of country. Period.
Then comes the tragedy (see below: 3:15 - 4:20).
Hillary Clinton ran the State Department. In essence Barack Obama outsourced it to Hillary letting her run it as she has seen fit. And by and large she has done a magnificent job. Libya. Syria. The Arab Spring. Handling Iran. All exemplary work. But success has 1,000 fathers. The character of a leader is revealed in failure. Then came Bengazi.
Instead of Hillary Clinton standing up, saying 'this happened on my watch, I'll stand tall, and take responsibility,' what has she done? She has been a coward, plain and simple. Some would call it smart. I call it cowardice.
Instead of her saying that Bengazi happened on my watch. I'll do the talk shows. I'll take the heat she had Susan Rice take the political bullet. Susan Rice was politically bludgeoned and hung out to dry.
Now that the Bengazi report is actually out and says that there were a multitude of errors Hillary Clinton is now sick like a kid who falls ill on the day of the final exam. How convenient. Who does she think she's kidding?
Finally,the media and Republicans are complicit, completely complicit. Jane Harman is the perfect example in this case. But make no mistake. She's not alone.
Hillary is running in 2016. Bet it. And political hacks like Jane Harman are playing the game and bastardizing the truth. They are downplaying Hillary's leadership role on this issue and deflecting blame every which way hoping to parlay threadbare integrity (on this issue) for a potential position in a Hillary Administration. Like I said, it's a sin and a shame.
Finally, the Republicans. They got shellacked in the last election. They think it was because of demographic groups. They couldn't be more wrong. They got shellacked for an entirely different reason. They got beaten badly because they can't explain, from their perspective, why Republican ideas are the best ideas for America. It's that simple.
But instead of taking away the right message, Republicans have decided to be cowards. Shame on John McCain. Taking out Susan Rice at the knees but because Republicans are scared of offending women they won't take on Hillary Clinton on this essential, leadership issue. I guess the straight talk express is out of service. Demographics are not destiny. Vision is victory.
This is why Chris Christie is appealing. He has a reputation for standing up and calling a spade a spade. The calculating, the type of calculation that voters find unappealing about Barack Obama, is the same thing that voters find unappealing about Hillary. Smart? Yes. American? Not so much.
