Yup, Benghazi rules her out.
How so? The Secretary of State at the time of Benghazi later won the nomination in 2016 as well as the popular vote. Rice used the best talking points available to her at the time and went on television when no one else would. In contrast, Secretary Clinton was nowhere to be found and dismissive of the entire tragedy when testifying before Congress (e.g., "what difference does it make?"). Rice conveyed the administration's position with much less information available to her and with the appropriate seriousness. If Clinton can be the presidential nominee, why can't Rice be the VP pick?
Why shouldn't Susan Rice deserve the most serious consideration to be Vice President? She has significant experience in two administrations and has done more than just think about international issues for decades. Susan Rice has been in the arena and in the room when tough decisions are made. She has earned another opportunity.
Many of the picks on the short lists have their own political agendas and have been critical of Biden in the past and even to his face. He needs someone who is more loyal and could step in to be president. Susan Rice has been in the Situation Room, and not just on CNN.
