Imagine conservatives' reaction if Hillary were similarly assessed by a former CIA head.
The scandal would become "The New Benghazi" and would dog her til the day she dies.

In new ad push, Hillary Clinton goes after Donald Trump on foreign policy

Hillary Clinton released a round of new ads on Thursday, castigating Donald Trump for his lack of foreign policy acumen and depicting the wealthy businessman as dangerous on the international stage. 
The ads, which are set to begin airing in eight swing states in what the campaign said was an "eight figure" buy, will increase the spending advantage — already 15 to 1 — that Clinton and her supporters have in television and radio ads over Trump and his allies. 
Clinton and a super PAC backing her candidacy, Priorities USA, have doled out $45 million on ads, according to a recent report from NBC News/SMG Delta. By contrast Trump and his supporters have spent about $3 million. 
In one of the ads released Thursday, titled "Myself," the Clinton campaign highlights Trump's comments in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" in March in which he talked about a host of issues, including foreign policy. 
"Who are you consulting with consistently so that you're ready on day one," Mika Brzezinski, one of the show's hosts, asked him.
"I'm speaking with myself ... because I have a very good brain," replied Trump. 
The ad then goes on to tout Clinton's work as secretary of State, including her work helping to negotiate a cease fire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas in 2012.
The other ad from Clinton, titled "The Shows," follows the same script, but at the outset highlights Trump's statements in a "Meet the Press" interview in which he said he would watch Sunday shows in order to stay abreast of foreign policy matters. 
Trump has said in recent months that he is seeking foreign policy advice from several people, though many have spent no time as policymakers.
