Why Republicans Are Ready for Hillary

 

 Her mistakes have GOP candidates lining up. But beware the pundits' confidence.
Politico  ... "Conservatives do have one thing to be thankful for: The fact is that Hillary Clinton learned so many lessons from her surprising 2008 defeat that she’s repeating each of them all over again. Once more she is running as the overconfident, inevitable nominee with safe speeches filled with mush and a bloated campaign staff that already is leaking against each other in the press." ...
...
"With the GOP field taking shape rather nicely, and so little to make fun of, we are left to train our guffaws on those always vulnerable for good-natured mockery: the D.C. pundit class and their confident delusions and myths about the Republican race. "

Some of the myths discussed in more detail here are:
Myth #1: Mitt Romney will run...
Myth # 2: This race has a frontrunner...
Myth #3: It is the time of the moderates (or the Tea Party is dead)...
Myth #4: Chris Christie was permanently damaged by Bridgegate...
Myth #5: This race will go all the way to the convention...
