Hillary Clinton would actually be more popular than OTL without the Monica Lewinsky Scandal. The Scandal made Bill Clinton appear dishonest and Hillary appear as one who worked behind the scenes to cover up the affair, which stains their image to this day. However, the Scandal made the Clintons more popular, as Bill was a popular president during a time of economic prosperity and peace and Hillary appeared as the poor wife that had to stomach her husband's adultery to preserve their marriage. The Impeachment made the Republican Majority Congress appear petty and more unpopular, as Bill campaigned around the country in response to their obstructions and their actions were clearly ideologically driven in an attempt to undermine a popular president of the opposite party. Without the scandal, Hillary is not accused of enabling and remaining married for political expedience and campaigns for her Senate seat earlier in 1998. She also probably wins by a landslide in the Senate race without being tied to her husband's ugly legacy. Heck, the United States presidential election of 2000 might even be closer without the media constantly interviewing Al Gore over Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and will allow Gore to ride off of Clinton's success. If Bush still wins as OTL, she'll still have trouble winning the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2008 because of the Iraq War vote and other Establishment ties that make Progressives skeptical of her.
