Via The Right Scoop, we noticed that young New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore – a veteran of the liberal opinion journal The Washington Monthly – thinks Hillary Clinton has a resume problem on her way to the White House, and it’s not Benghazi, exactly.

On MSNBC’s Jansing & Co. Friday, he said “I actually think that the real thing they have to overcome, the question everyone’s asking is ‘What was her biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State?’And you know, I just see flailing on this question, from her own supporters, I don’t see any good answer, or at least a solid, strong answer. It’s sort of surprising to me.” (Video below)

MSNBC host Chris Jansing noted that Team Clinton would say ‘she traveled a million miles, and didn’t she improve the standing of the U.S. abroad?” Confessore said “It’s not the kind of thing you put out there, ‘this is the concrete thing that I did.’”

Even State Department flacks have flailed at at answer.
