Either the Whitewater Development Corporation isn't founded, the Clintons aren't connected to it, or it doesn't commit crimes. What effects does this have on the Clintons' political careers and reputations?

Well said, as has been shown multiple times over the past 30 years, the Republicans decided that the Clinton's were guilty and then started to look around for something to use against them.Then there would had been something else that the Republicans would use like the Rose Law Firm, Travelgate, Vince Foster to get at the Clintons.
I remember even before the 92 election there were bumped stickers that said "Impeach Clinton and her Husband".
We must remember that Whitewater was investigated at least two times before and nothing was found and in the end the only thing that the Starr Special Investigation could get Clinton on was the Monica Lewinsky Affaire.

The investigations into the Rose Law Firm, Travelgate, Vince Foster suicide, and the Paula Jones lawsuit was folded in to the Starr Special Prosecution and anyone of those instead of Whitewater would have triggered a special prosecutors investigation in itself and that would have brought the Lewinsky affair to light.
In a nutshell Newt Gingrich: since he first was elected to the House in 1978 he perfected the "Politics of Personal Destruction" in which anything and everything was used to bring down a political opponent.Key question: Why did American conservatives start moving in the direction of conspiracy theory and assuming bad motive circa 1990 to ‘93?

And to me, it’s asymmetrical.
I mean, there’s much more travel distance among American conservatives than American liberals.

1988: Rush Limbaugh starts his show, Atwater emphasizes social issues in the campaign, and the electoral map shows a "red"/"blue" divide forming.Key question: Why did American conservatives start moving in the direction of conspiracy theory and assuming bad motive circa 1990 to ‘93?

Yes, I think the fact that Clinton was a relatively young man was part of it, too.. . . Some other factors was that there was a "Jealousy Factor" that this "Draft Dodging, Pot Smoking, Womanizer" was the first Baby Boomer President instead of someone more "Admirable".
This was the driving force that Howell Raines editor of The New York Times Editorial Board, had against Clinton, Raines was only a couple of years older than Clinton and they both were from Arkansas, . . .
