Lack of Democratic race a burden for Hillary

The Republican candidates have been in an intense battle for campaign talent. Seeking any advantage possible, candidates are vying for the best managers, consultants and strategists.

Democrats have created the reverse of that, with crowds of politicos trying to get on the Clinton campaign, which is the only gravy train around.

Republican candidates are taking shots at each other, pointing out their rivals’ weaknesses, whispering that this or that candidate is not ready for prime time.

Democrats are defending Clinton, most recently in the State Department email affair, and waiting for talking points from Clinton Central to tell them what to say next.

Put it all together, and it’s not too much of an exaggeration to say the Republican race is alive — indeed teeming with life — while the Democratic race is dead.
