I seriously doubt that 1 in 10 voters gave two shits about Bengazhi or followed the hearings. The only people who cared were political junkies, and the hearings just reinforced biases on both sides.
And the GOP doesn't control the House, like it did in 2012. It can't hold hearings, create joint committees, etc. Earliest it can do all that stuff is a year and a half from now and by then it'll be too late.
You're also assuming that Biden is going to run again. He's nearly as old as my parents were when they died. Kamala Harris isn't secretary of state, like Clinton was. Holding hearings into Afghanistan damages...who exactly?
Clinton was unlikeable, ran a lousy campaign, was hammered by the news media over DNC emails on a daily basis, and still won the popular vote.
And the truth is, she really was responsible for Bengazhi. Indirectly, but still responsible because our intervention in Libya was her baby. If she had run against anybody but Trump, I sure as hell wouldn't have voted for her.
The most important thing to remember is that Biden is 100% right. Afghanistan is a lost cause, has been right from the start. Getting out now and resisting the pressure to send combat troops back into the country is the strong thing to do.
IF Biden runs again and IF the economy is good in 2024 and IF a half million people don't die from the Zeta variant of the coronavirus that year, then Biden will probably get re-elected. People might care one way or the other about Afghanistan but it won't translate into votes. It hasn't yet.
Those are a hell of a lot of "ifs."
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
