I think Christie is the only real threat to Democrats in 2016. The Bush family has a worn out name. Mitt Romney has clearly worn out his welcome. Ever since he suggested he may run, the backlash on the right has been pronounced.
Meanwhile, every single poll shows Hillary Clinton beating all potential Republican challengers. I think that's because 2016 doesn't feel like a "change" election and because when you're out of politics, your favorability rises because you're no longer in the constantly negative 24-hour news cycle.
Therefore it makes sense for her to back off and take it easy. Everyone knows who she is. The people who already hate her aren't going to ever be won over and the people who are ready for her to finally be President aren't going to be moved either.
All the big donors are ready to fall in line behind the Clintons.
Smart move of her to remain on her listening tour spending time with real people, building relationships, getting the groundgame in place in tough states with Republican Governors who are trying to make voting as difficult as possible.
And with her holding back, it allows the entire narrative to focus on the infighting among Republicans, who are split between the more serious wing (Romney, Bush, Christie, Walker) the clown car wing (Palin, Trump, Huckabee, Santorum) and the wild card, Rand Paul.
Internet trolls can try to concoct a narrative that Hillary is "worn out" or somehow afraid of having to testify before the Senate committee, but that's all bunk. She's going to go to that committee and properly bitchslap them just the way she did last time. They've investigated Benghazi 7 times and finally reported last month that cleared the administration of any wrongdoing.
Remember when the GOP thought it was preposterous that an attack could have been carried out over a nasty right-wing anti-muslim online video? Benghazi is the calling card for proud morons who continue to cling to this stupid conspiracy even after what happened in Paris, over a cartoon.
