Charles Krathammer called Hillary Clinton's status among Democrats "semi-divine" and the forthcoming Democratic primary an eight month "worship service" on Thursdays Special Report.

In a panel discussion on the latest Fox News Poll which found that, among self-identified Democrats, Clinton enjoys a commanding 56% lead over her nearest rival, Vice President Joe Biden, guest host Shannon Bream raised the specter of Benghazi as a possible impediment to her pathway to the nomination.

Krauthammer did not hesitate to brush it aside.

It won't in the primary. It won't even be an issue. I think the status she enjoys among Democrats is semi-divine. It’s not going to be a coronation. It’s going to be a worship service. And it will go on for about six or eight months. I don't think there is any serious challenger. There might be noise, but I don't even think that the left that we've talked about is that the significant. It’s a noisy left. But, I don't see any impediment on the way to her nomination. But I think she is going to be rather weak if she decides to run, which I think she likely is. She will be a relatively weak opponent. And Republicans, I think, are going to have a really good shot at the White House.

Panelist Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard countered that Benghazi has already had a notable impact on Clinton's poll numbers, having cost her some 30% in some polls, but as Nina Easton points out, the nomination is certainly Clinton's to lose - and no one but no one expects her to lose it.
