When does the Benghazi "scandal" become a dead horse?

The actual events obviously still need to be investigated, but the more we find out about it the more it looks like the GOP meme of "scandal" is a dying horse. So when does the horse die?

I have lost all respect for him. There were over 58 thousand killed in Vietnam, thousands who came back more crippled and maimed than McCain and hundreds of others who were prisoners of war than who don't believe that entitles them to be assholes.

I was going to post the same thing.

It doesn't matter to the RWNJs what is true. They invent their own fantasy land and populate it with negativity and conspiracy.

People are exhausted from the campaign, from the struggle in their daily lives and many are digging out from the hurricane. The repubs keep acting like two year olds who don't get what they want and so they throw themselves on the floor and scream.

Snarling, ugly faces, all of them. The people are repulsed by them.

their "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" is fading fast. I predict the next is going to be something about not rescuing Israel.

They won't fix their party and take the loss of this election seriously so they have moved on to trying to paint Obama as a bad President. And Obama's approval is now above 50% after the election so the public is not really going along for the ride.

I think that's the reason Susan Rice's name was floated as a possible SOS. It has fueled the fires of craziness. Meanwhile, never intervene when the opposition is digging itself even dipper into the pit.
