Hillary being more hawkish than Bernie and than Obama has been will be such a benefit to her now that terrorism is back to having such significance in the political sphere; her tenure of Secretary of State will help a lot as well, if she emphasizes how she disagreed with Obama, how she pushed him to get bin Laden, and how many places she visited. Benghazi can't hurt her too much any more after the hearing, so it'll be hard for Republicans to paint her tenure as a failure.
Honestly, a less hawkish Democrat might lose the election if terrorism remains a big issue into the general, so I'm glad she has the viewpoints and experience to avoid that.
Just another reason Bernie would be a horrible nominee.

It'll be pretty useful for her, actually. She's been waiting for this for a while and it was a major hit to her when they went for Obama in Feb. 2008.
