What are the issues?

           It's important to be an informed voter.  You shouldn't just vote for a person because your friend told you to!  Most people are confused on where the candidates stands on certain issues.  There is a lot of mudslinging involved and sometimes the truth isn't very clear.   Lots of political ads from both candidates are running vicious attacks on the other.    Below are two videos that are clearly bias.  How are these video bias?????
