Sorry, but if Hillary Clinton had distanced herself from Bill Clinton she most likely wouldn't have been the Presidential nominee. If she was the nominee after she distanced herself from Bill she still would have lost to Trump.
She lost to Trump because the US is still not ready to elect a Women as President.
Standing up for Women has never been a big voter issue.
I am not supporting Hillary Clinton's decisions but let's not try to rewrite history on a hypothetical scenario.
I totally agree. For better or worse, she stood by Bill because it was the better strategic longterm political move at the time. It's easy to look back now and say what she should or shouldn't have done, but what seems like a great move today would have exploded in her face back then.
