    "I did not have a sexual relation with that classified email" -- Clinton.

    I'm Filipino and I love watching American politics like I'm American, hahaha

    "Why don't YOU get a drink with Mitch McConnell?" - Barack Obama
  • @artemis_lena
    I don't blame her for not trusting the press. The main press in the U.S. is a disgusting joke.
  • Something tells me most people disliked this video without even watching the entirety of the video.
  • @Sewblon
    I tried to read her platform. It was long, detailed, and without any apparent unifying objective, theme, or principle. Now it all makes sense. That platform was written by everyone she ever had a conversation with together.
  • @yohami
    How come you've covered her all this time and not discovered her pile of bodies, corruption, criminal business, etc?
  • @LEEboneisDaMan
    This is why I subscribed to vox. Not to agree with me on everything. But to present a smart intelligent subject on a complicated issue where I agree with some aspects and disagree with others. Well done guys.
  • @tinadong1413
    Wow imagine having a leader that listens. The current Cheeto couldn’t even directly answer a question from the press
  • @leronbenari226
    Vox make a video on clintons email scandal. Like so Vox will see it.
  • All people that vote for Hillary to not let Trump win are exactly what is wrong with America's politics.
  • @ericadurazo9242
    Remember when people acted like it was a hard choice between Trump and Hillary.......I still hate those people
  • @jada589
    America needs a leader that listens to its struggling people and helps rather than send the national guard to silence and control them.. smh
  • @Epimpin101
    Remember when she voted for the Iraq war? Even though 30 Democratic Senators voted against it. Was that listening to the people? Was that "getting the job done"?
  • I think part of this is the obsession with personality and character, over policies, that American politics tends to have. I'm British, and, generally speaking, we care much less about the characters of our politicians beyond whether they seem capable. Or at least, I do. By that I mean I don't give a rats arse about the Prime Ministers family or pets or religious affiliation...etc...etc. I don't care if they are 'nice', 'confident' or 'love the country!', and even if I did, whether they can present those characteristics while on campaign has very little to do with their political decisions while in power. To me, the only things that should really matter are, in order of importance; A. their intelligence and broader competency B. their position on specific political issues e.g. GM crops, nuclear energy, HS2 (a controversial railway line)...etc C. their broader ideological positioning. On those grounds I really don't see much difference between Obama and Hillary other than Hillary having more political experience (which I count as a good thing). A Hillary presidency would be, as far as anyone can reasonably predict, a continuation of Obama's. That may be a good or bad thing, depending on your point of view, but regardless it's hardly a political earthquake. But, because American news media and society loves to obsess over character and the individual so much, that fact seems to have been obscured. I don't mean to sound superior here - in the UK we have our own issues - it's just something I've noticed.

    Listening was never something what was treasured in the American politics. Show is that what’s counts. That’s why we now have a clown as a president who entertains us every day
  • Even though I am watching this video 3 years and 8 months after it was made, it's content is no less relevant as we draw to the end of Trump's first term. This video explains so much of how & why Trump won, but also it explains much about human nature, and how Trump can win a second term. Clinton the Listener, vs Trump the Talker; People like hearing someone telling them simple solutions to complex problems. But, people don't expect or want to have to explain to an electoral candidate what the problems are, because they expect the candidate to somehow know and completely understand already, and to sound authoritative about it. And this is where human nature is at its most frail and most exploitable. I also see now how Clinton got foul pressed. Even I fell for it. 😕
