I am a 52 yr old asian male living in Arizona. I just saw 3 of Van's "Messy Truth" videos (are there more?) and while I completely agree that we need to communicate better and we are all more alike than we are different, clearly the long standing strategy of character assassination and misinformation against Mrs Clinton has been effective, Sure, I know about Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation etc, but the Arizona Republic, which endorsed the first democrat in 126 years (Clinton) did a good job of putting things in perspective. I perform due diligence on sizable ($10M+) investments for a living and am always dealing with people who claim what they are selling is "great". My job involves determining if they are telling the truth about what they are selling so I perform financial, legal and regulatory due diligence on each project to get to the bottom line. Based on my own due diligence from multiple sources I conclude that most of the allegations against Mrs Clinton are at the very least greatly exaggerated. OK, so I'm not telling many of you anything you don't already know, but clearly the campaign against Clinton was a great success, independent of civility, morality or the truth. We have to find a way to educate voters, or we risk devolving into a "fight fire with fire" situation (I regret to say that the "when they go low we go high" approach does not appear to have worked ;-(
