Well I don't think anyone thought of her as unbeatable, at least on the GOP side.  I think we all learned in 2008 how beatable she was by some obscure, unaccomplished community agitator from Chicago.  They saw her as the clear frontrunner on the Democrat side and as I recall there were lots of voices saying she would be ideal to run against given all her baggage, how lousy a candidate she is, how shrill and unlikable, etc.  Look, I'll stipulate that most of what happens in DC is political.  That is the very nature of the beast.  But the committee was formed to find out what happened in Benghazi because we know what the administration was saying was proved to be false.  And Hillary was only one of many people telling the same lie.  Obama lied.  Susan Rice lied.  Hillary lied.  That this has morphed into a big political liability for Hillary is her own fault.

As for McCarthy, I think you are right.  Amazing how a couple of sentences can have such a dramatic impact but that is the reality we live in with the 24/7 news cycle and an alternate media that actually gets the news out versus the govt media that is in the tank for the Dems.
