105. At worst, she is the victim of her own actions

It is likely she never anticipated that her actions would be such that they will define her for decades. To some real degree, her actions, Clinton's responses, the witch hunt mode the right was in then have made it impossible for her to have the life that she likely otherwise would have had. (Note: She herself has, at points, used that infamy to get attention, she is making things worse.)

As to Clinton, he has paid and will continue to pay a high price. On a personal level, he has to know how badly he hurt his wife and it is possible that he was one of many factors that can be said could have led to her loss. He also lost the last two years of his presidency to some degree. He was able to cartmentalize, but he clearly lost political capital. I don't know what he was unable to do, but I assume that something would have replaced that ugly subject.

Sadly, even as he still retains popularity from people who remember the charisma and hope, it might be that long term, the most known part of his legacy would be that he was impeached, but not removed. For himself, his wife, the Democratic party, the country and the world, it could have been so much better.
