I think the Democrats are making an enormous mistake in having effectively only one candidate and we're beginning to see why.
It's not that the emails are such a big scandal--it will pass. It's that a one-person race almost demands constant scandals. There must be a thousand reporters ready to cover the Democratic primaries. If there's no race to cover, what are they going to do? Look for scandals . . . or have nothing to write, and lose one of the biggest opportunities of their career.
The best thing the Democrats could do is come up with a serious challenger. Warren, Webb, Woodrow Wilson it doesn't matter. The frontrunner usually wins, anyway. But trying to clear the field is a recipe for disaster. It's already happening.
