To be clear, I totally get the thing about her manner (and even her nervous laugh) although I think she's doing better lately. And I certainly don't recommend having affairs with mentors; it's unprofessional at best, but it happened a long time ago and hardly seems a reason not to vote for someone.

It's hard to picture it having an effect on a male candidate's campaign 30 years later, unless there was abuse or it was the cause of a divorce or something really harmful.

I think it depends, though I am sure it happens, it is rare for a man to use a woman to get ahead...
