When the auto industry first started going big time advertising on TV , all the different companies had come to the following conclusion. Never say bad things about your competitors cars. Always advertise that having a car , any car was a great thing for everyone but show how your car was the best of all the very good cars. They did this because they knew that saying bad things about other competitors cars would eventually lead to a negative view of cars and driving that in the long run would hurt the industry and cause them all to have less success.
The same applies in politics. There was a time when candidates talked about their rivals with respect. Now its all muck raking and trying their best to destroy the other guys character and respectability. This leads exactly where the car makers knew all this negative stuff would lead. Zero respect by the American people for all candidates. Choosing to vote for the lesser of evils vs the best candidate, a worldwide view of the USA and its leaders as untrustworthy people who live immoral lives and just hope not to get caught.
Its a sad state of affairs in politics now.
