If Hillary runs?..

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

You know those pesky Teabaggers will line up with their Red Dawn dvds and won't let Benghazi go away.

1. Benghazi won't be on any Democrat or Independent voter's mind in 2016. Republicans are the only ones that care and they won't vote for her.
2. It's Hillary Clinton. She's taken hits left and right for decades now; something like this won't be the backbreaker.

No, but it's proven that Hillary is still polarizing to Republicans.

[Blue3]

Not a chance.

Remember how she fought back against the entire House GOP and Senate GOP during the hearings, just a few weeks after her injury, and won and didn't make a single gaffe in only those hours and hours?

History has shown that scandals only make Hillary stronger, not weaker. I highly doubt Benghazi will still be an issue in 2016, but I'm sure the Republicans will keep bringing it up until then (same way they keep voting to repeal the health care law) sporadically, maybe once a year. They have already destroyed Obama, now they're trying to destroy her, but unlike Obama, she has a spine and stands up to them. She's known for a long time that the Republicans hate her, and she deals with them accordingly. Obama cares more about Republicans liking him and bringing the country together rather than he does about actually governing. She doesn't appease them like he does. I think Bill Maher said it best, "She knows how to deal with difficult men."

No, but it won't help her any in the South. I am confident she will find her own new and creative ways to blow this easy victory. After all, she has a few years to think of how to top losing in 2008.

[Niemeyerite]

It'll help her. Teabaggers will teabag, and moderates will prefer to vote for her rather than the teabagged GOP and its candidate.

[TDAS04]

No.  When Republicans impeached her husband, he remained popular with most Americans.  Hopefully that's an indication that neither Clinton can be sunk by a non-issue.

[Liberalrocks]

No her protective teflon Clinton shield will protect her, she had it on in the 90s and took it off for a short while in 2008.
