It's fascinating to see her keep saying things that reveal the fatal flaw in her campaign. It's not that she listened to her advisors back then, although they did give her bad advice. Rather, she's lacking values that resonate with the majority of the American people. We all know that the old man was a terrible human being, and yeah, it is probably sad for his family that he passed away, but most of us would simply not say his name again. He earned no respect as a public figure, and we can treat ourselves with dignity by not bringing him up ever again.

Of course you also might want a trash talk him, because of all the horrible things he did, and that's okay too. I think either approach is fine, but the one approach that's not fine is whitewashing all the horrible things he did in his life.
