From the woman who brought you Benghazi, the Russian reset, the bungling of the Arab Spring, and the disregard for national security that compromised classified email material . . .
Yet, incredibly, Joe Scarborough today extolled Hillary's foreign policy credentials, claiming--not a typo--"what an amazing brand she would have to offer the American people right now. Even Republicans that are in search of a unifying, strong leader against ISIS." Scarborough did so after citing Trent Lott and David Petraeus' praise of Hillary's hard work and knowledgeability as a senator. That might be. But how can anyone possibly look at Hillary, one of the most polarizing figures of our times, and someone responsible for a series of foreign policy flops, as a "strong, unifying leader against ISIS?"
Note: Scarborough offered his hosannas for Hillary after criticizing her predictably partisan attack on Trump's Muslim immigration proposal. But Joe's bottom line was still the mind-boggling notion that she would be a "strong, unifying leader against ISIS."
JOE SCARBOROUGH: She's going to win the Democratic nomination. What Americans want is a strong, unifying leader. And Katty, I remember talking about her work as a senator. I remember talking to Trent Lott very early on, after Hillary Clinton was a senator, and going up to him and going: what's Hillary like? What's it like working with Hillary? He goes: she's great. She's bipartisan, she does her homework, she keeps her head down. I wish every senator was like her. It reminds me of the question asked of David Petraeus. When he was at the height of the surge, Joe Klein asks, who, what senator is best informed about your fight and what you need to win this war and Petraeus immediately said, oh, you mean other than Hillary Clinton? What an amazing brand she would have to offer the American people right now. Even Republicans that are in search of a unifying strong leader against ISIS.
