Remind people of the alleged issues of the campaign (personal corruption, excessive coziness with Wall Street, mishandling classified information), and then point out how Trump is considerably worse than anything Clinton was accused of.

Petraeus being the fellow who gave away America's military secrets to the woman he was cheating on his wife with.
