Reince Priebus, whose incompetent leadership of the Republican Party has occurring during the period when the party leadership has been noisily and sloppily challenged by the Promethean Tea Party monster they created, now pathetically defends has-been Karl Rove's latest dirty tricks disinformation campaign. He probably has no other choice, from his perspective.
Of course any presidential candidate's actual health is a legitimate issue in a campaign, but when Priebus says Hillary's "health" and Benghazi are "fair game," that's not what he means. If he is right, then the lead up to the Iraq War by George W. Bush and the prospect of another Bush-led war with Iran, JEB!'s tenure with Lehman Brothers after 2006 and its impact on Florida and the world's economy, Neil Bush's contractor cronyism with Ignite! Learning in relation to promoting Common Core standards, the Schiavo affair, JEB!'s wife and her run-in with US Customs, JEB!'s children's personal problems, etc. are all "fair game."
Unfortunately all of this muck will be "fair game" in what promises to be the dirtiest presidential campaign, at least since 1884, if not ever.
"Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
"JEB!, JEB!, where's Benghazi? Closer to Baghdad than the White House is to you! Hil! Hil! Hil!
You have to give Rove credit for realizing that JEB! can't beat Hillary if she runs, and he realizes that taking her out of the race is his only option to install a third Bush, but he won't be able to take down the Hildabeast with BB shots about phantom brain damage, or Benghazi, or any old scandal from the '90s. She and Bill will relish charging like a Rhino in heat against the next Bush and his "brain."
Rove's "premature ejeculation" strategy will prove disastrous for the Republican Party in 2016. They will have already shot their disinformation load into Hillary, and by the time the actual campaign starts after JEB! buys the nomination, all the attention will be on his shortcomings.
Her campaign slogan might as well be "Hilldog '16. It takes a beast to beat the Bushes!"
