At Republican Gathering, All Talk Is of Hillary Clinton (None of It Is Good)

    Hillary Clinton received a lot of  scrutiny from the Republican party. They seemed to go after everything about her, nothing seemed off limits. They went from her common and unannounced visit to Chipotle all the way to her husband Bill and his infidelity. Senator Rand Paul went after the disintegration of Libya, her email scandal, and the acceptance of contributions from foreign nations. Governor Scott Walker went after the fact Hillary is out of touch with common people. Claiming that she has probably never been to Kohl's or even shopped herself in the last ten to fifteen years. He also said that Hillary as president would not be Bill Clinton's third term, but Obama's third term. At this gathering, many potential candidates tried to show that they were "strong enough" to go up against Hillary. 

   I feel that with a candidate as strong as Hillary Clinton many of the possible Republican candidates feel the need to go on the offensive very early. They may be threatened by how much support she has and how little her opposition is. In a way them "throwing dirt" at her early on can help them. They can get people on the fence about her away from her at an early point by bringing up all of her issues without a platform for her to directly defend herself. I feel that it is a tad bit childish to do so as soon as she announces her candidacy without really talking about what they plan to do themselves, but it may also be the smartest move.
