Paul Waldman thinks Hillary makes Republicans not see or think straight. Because they hate her and Bill so much.

To take just one example, if Hillary runs, we’re going to be hearing a lot about Benghazi, because Republicans are not only sure she did something scandalous, they’re also sure that if they just hammer away at it long enough, everybody else will become convinced, too. But just like with Bill’s impeachment, exactly the opposite is likely to happen: the more they talk about it, the more voters will become convinced that they’ve taken leave of their senses.

And as if on cue, Rand Paul brings up Lewinsky.
