Think of the political capital that Clinton could get from vowing to refuse SuperPACs in 2020.
Back on this topic, the GOP debases the conversation by arguing "shame on you on behalf of the Benghazi victims" and the Democrats follow them into the mud with their own, more moderate, smear from a fallen soldiers family.
It's an election about trustworthiness; arguing "we're better than them, at least" is such weak tea.

I get that Clinton and the Democrats have their flaws. A lot of it is just systemic with politics. You have someone in the game long enough then the stink rubs off. I don't know if there will ever be a flawless candidate for either party because of that.
But I have to disagree that Clinton is only slightly better. Even with her flaws, she is light years ahead of Trump. Trump has all the trademark flaws of a politician and billionaire businessman, but he also has countless personal and character flaws that make Clinton pale in comparison.
