It's gonna be an advantage and a hindrance. Yes, she will be able to use that experience to an advantage in showing voters she understands foreign policy well. But the GOP will also be able, right or not, to link her directly to the current US foreign policy, which most Americans are not supportive of. So it both helps and hurts her.

At this point the question for the GOP isn't really who could beat Hillary but who limits the senate damage.
Fair or not she has to run a nearly flawless campaign, any slip ups and she's probably cooked. That's why favorability matters, Ben Carson says all kinds of stupid #### and he still beats her in a hypothetical right now. It's why the Dems want Trump or Bush so bad, because they're the only two with worse favorability ratings than Hillary.
