17. Unsurprizingly, the damage to his credibility . . .
Had little to do with his core expertise as a weapons proliferation expert.

He was tainted by (and I admit I don't have the details handy) charges of improper conduct with an underage woman and suspicious funding sources for a movie he made.

I don't believe these have been debunked, and they are just the sort of thing that turns centrist voters off.

Which is my point. True or not, he's been smeared, and a significant part of the electorate that we'd like to have listening to him won't anymore.
