The effect of 1990's nostalgia has made a lot of people forget the various situations of what happened and what was going on in different areas. The Clintons have a long history of pushing the line and managing to not pay a price for it in a number of areas. Not all of these scandals are/were fake, but the media created a narrative and generally protected the Clintons from the serious scrutiny on the basis that if most were nothing, all were nothing.

Bob Dole was far more respectable than Bill Clinton on a personal level. There was also not much accomplished in Bill's first term because of th simple fact that Healthcare failed and the GOP took congress. There were two things that Clinton did get, and they were Crime and the Tax hike. Amazingly, Clinton did not pay a price for these, but his party did and that was a good reason why the Democrats go hammered down ballot simultaneously both in suburbs and also in the Southern districts like GA, VA and other areas that they had controlled for years. This was when the NRA was really effective and many districts held by Dems forever flipped in 1994 and 1996 on that issue. By 1996 though, they had Newt to rail against though in the suburbs and Bill was still able to pull in Appalachia for himself.
