Why Trump's naked corruption is less interesting than conspiracy theories about Clinton

Trump is blatantly crooked, and this is obvious to everyone observing (although his supporters see this as a positive). It’s a “dog bites man” story.

Clinton is crooked in a more subtle/sophisticated way; she’s the embodiment of modern American pay-to-play politics. It’s a story that requires more detail, and one which is likely to have a much greater long-term impact on the world.

Trump is suicidal lunacy that probably won’t succeed. Clinton is suicidal lunacy that almost certainly will succeed.
