“Looking at her time in State, voters might have this amorphous positive feeling about her time as a diplomat but don’t really have any tangible examples of accomplishments to latch onto. Benghazi becomes a major problem for her,” said one Republican political strategist, who spoke to The Hill on background to discuss the politics of the Benghazi fight.

“This is a tangible issue where there are clearly things the State Department did not do well in preparation, and made mistakes in the fallout after. That’s something we can really point to as questionable actions of her time at State.”…

Republicans believe that, while voters hold a favorable view of Clinton’s tenure at State, she will be hard pressed to point to a concrete success if she runs for president.

The fact she traveled more extensively than any previous secretary of State would pale in comparison to the Benghazi attack, the Republican strategist said.

“Compare that to ‘one million miles flown.’ That’s a whole lot amorphous than Benghazi, and this gives us a wedge,” he said.
