In my humble opinion, I would say these are people with a lot of unresolved issues and I say that as one who at one time or another kept my shrink, in luxury automobiles.
Contrary to popular myth, there is no positive spin on womanizing. Men who engage in it, are not psychologically healthy, especially when the riskier it is, the more likely they are to have multiple affairs. The inappropriateness of Bill's actions, had a lot to do with the brazenness. A need for drama, at all costs. It's not the best think in the country to have a President who does not have control of his libido, as the whole impeachment thing bore out. While lots of us have issues, we're running for POTUS.
As a woman who had a relationship with someone, both different and similar to Bill, I can say from my own experience, that putting up with behavior one strongly objects to, or spending one's life trying to control it, is totally co-dependent. Since Hillary is very much the opposite of a swinging, open marriage type, she has had to jettison big parts of herself, in order to stay in the relationship. It's probably why she comes across as inauthentic.
None of us is perfect, the Obamas probably have some issues too. But the Clinton's are so outsized, so percolating, beneath their together exterior. Bill can only be put in a box for so long. If acts out, what then?
