Not sympathetic, but the timing does suck for the GOP. They can't pretend Benghazi was the worst thing in American history, but keep delaying the hearings. The private server is the worst thing, but that's already baked into the cake even before hearings.
Wealth issues are the ones that make people despise candidates. McCain not knowing how many houses he owned (thanks to his wife's inherited money) was far worse than anything Mitt did, but people cut McCain more slack. Mitt caught a lot of shit for a car elevator, but the 47% and the timing of the release is what killed him. If Hillary and Chelsea had made their tone deaf comments on wealth in 2016, she'd be toast. People may not be able to relate to the Google Boys' wealth, but at least they can understand how it was earned. People can't relate to Bubba making $100M via speeches, spending $3M on Chelsea's wedding, and still claiming you're not really rich. Hard to keep that drumbeat going unless a smoking gun emerges in mid to late 2016.
