I think a sizeable proportion of the US didn't really care if Clinton lied about a woman, but the Republicans mobilised the moral outrage vote, and that was that :-/
I've never lost trust in a political figure for what he does in his personal life (Clinton? Schmuck, sure, but what a politician), but so many have thrown my trust away through their politics, and they're never getting it back.
