Seriously, do we know what is in those emails? I mean, we get it, she missed them (or didn't I'm not sure). Big whoop. Unless there is some form of damning evidence in there I don't get the focus on them.
Besides grasping at straws.

Has anyone read the reactions from more conservative sites/forums to see what the thought is there?
killary lied we need more committees and hearings
isn't it a little TOO convenient they didn't find anything suspicious? that's pretty suspicious if you ask me

Moderates may or may not be swayed. The fringe/paranoid/birther conspiracy nuts of the right will likely continue thinking the same thing - but some of their ire might be aimed at the repubs once they realize that nothing was gained from this committee (although doubtful since Fox and what not are gonna try reporting some kind of victory regardless).
It's been 11 hours... he needs his bucket!
He's a changeling! Test his blood!

11 hours of that and not be fazed, Hillary is a machine!
Clinton's email to Chelsea was different than Susan Rice's statement to the media. This is the smoking gun, which proves Clinton is a pathological liar. Everything she has ever said is proven to be a lie, and she's unfit to be president. In fact, she's the most evil woman to ever live.
Democrats on the committee were despicable, spending their time playing politics by attacking their own committee and defending Clinton. This basically amounts to spitting on the graves of four American heroes. The Republicans on the committee were non-partisan seekers of truth, courageously pressing forward to find the answers despite Hillary's lies.

If there wasn't anything going on, they wouldn't need to ask these questions.
-GOP logic.
So fucking cringe. Roby is such a dope.

I thought it would be interesting to check out some right wing facebook reactions on this.
It certainly was interesting.
It would be nice if this applied to any election but the presidency.

This is what happens when you spend years riling up your base. The otherside is evil, and logic goes out the window.I thought it would be interesting to check out some right wing facebook reactions on this.

Voting Democrat next year is the best message disgruntled Republicans can take to show their distaste at the sorry state of the party.
Maybe they'll get a clue for once. Probably not, though.
What a disaster this week has been for right-wing politicians in North America. A deserved one at that.
Nah they will never learn.
Well they are stuck now, if the party leaders try to go more moderate, the base stops them.
Especially since a lot of the base thinks the problem is the republican party isn't conservative enough.
I can't believe some of you spent 11 hours watching that crap.
The party that controls both houses of congress and most state governments, ladies and gentlemen..................
Maybe voters will finally get sick of the Republicans and throw them out, but I doubt it. The big problem is not enough people vote.

If anything, your right-wing needs to revolt and split the Republicans in two in an effort to seize control from the base that is poised to drag it into an unelectable abyss of tea party yahoos.
I mean, you're not winning the next election anyhow. Might as well try to make something productive out of next year. Unless you want to forfeit 2020 now as well.
We've been tooting this horn for a while but Canada just had its largest voter turnout in 22 years.
Maybe the kids of the baby boomers are getting sick of hearing how apathetic they are about politics.
Neither party is dumb enough to split, it guarantees the other party wins until the party merges back.
Our system guarantees two parties so the republican party will just have to keep devouring itself for a while.
It only missed how much this cost to taxpayers.
My guess is electoral and primary reform is more likely. No idea how likely it is, but it seems to be that the Republicans have a vested interest in nominating non-crazy candidates for the general election, and the only way that happens is through some sort of top-two, ranked voting, or massive primary reform.
That will weaken their dependence on the far right, limit the amount of crazy republicans that ruin their national brand, and weaken the need for their presidential candidates to lean super far to the right to get the nomination.

Man, Bernie Sanders fans can be really salty.
A positive article about Hillary's performance in the Washington Times: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/22/hillary-clintons-poise-in-benghazi-testimony-boost/
Yes, that Washington Times.
Yes, that Washington Times.
And now I can only think of the "I know kung fu" scene from The Matrix. "Ten hours straight. He's.... a machine."
Obviously they are too liberal just like fox! I only get my news from the Drudge report.
It's amazing how bad the republicans failed at bringing her down, hell it was 11 hours of failure on their part
It looks like Team Republicans is blasting off again!

Man, they really didnt think this through, if this was still the 90s maybe this type of tactic would have maybe worked, but man.

Republicans are just practicing for when they take on ISIS. It all starts with slaying the Butcher of Benghazi.

Wtf... Why? What's driving this hatred?I thought it would be interesting to check out some right wing facebook reactions on this.

Lol all this did was help create positive feelings towards Hilary. Way to go Republicans.
I know it must have sucked for her to sit there for 11 hours but this was probably the best thing to happen for her so far in her campaign. Well maybe Biden dropping out I guess, but still.

AM radio, drudge, the blaze, fox to a lesser extent etc...
Its easy for people to just live in their rightwing bubble.

I think you got the cause and effect wrong. Fox and drudge exist because these people WANT to hear the things they say, not because they showed up one day and convinced people to believe these things. It goes way deeper than that.
Not like dailykos and msnbc invented liberalism.
They just solidified Hillary Clinton's upcoming Presidential election victory. What an 11 hours long witch hunt! Hillary maintains her cool throughout while the committee lead is seating buckets. I gotta admit I got the "chills" when Hillary said, "I'm here because I said I would be here." whoa! Where was this Clinton in the previous presidential election?
Was listening to conservative radio on my way to McDonald's and the host sounded so angry like Hilary had personally killed one of his family members. People were calling in almost in tears because this criminal is getting away with it.
Yeah it's pretty sad.
Well sure, yes those people exist but Fox and Drudge feed them and make them even more hungry and also spread it to a wider audience. Their whole stick is hate. Some people love to hate. Makes them feel better about their own lives if they can hate other people.
They definitely made people have a lot more extreme positions. I've seen plenty of people go from being conservative (but moderate) to these type of people where Hillary is literally the devil.
The level of hate can definitely be at least somewhat attributed to right wing media.
