No Ideas for the Future? Focus on the Past!

USA Today reports that Benghazi will be "the focus of one of the nights at next week's (Republican) convention."

It has struck me the past two weeks that although the focus of the nation's attention has been on bloodshed in our streets, the focus of the Congress has been on Benghazi and Clinton's emails. Even granting that these are important issues, they are in fact in the past, and nothing can undo them. We can learn from them, of course; but it is clear to everyone that the constant attention to them is not driven by what can be learned from them but by who might be ruined by them. The Republican leadership, lacking ideas about how to solve current problems, concentrates on selectively-chosen past mistakes.

The fact that the RNC will spend one whole evening of its air time on Benghazi is further proof of the lack of ideas in the Trump camp or in the leadership of the Republican party. It's disgusting.
