The model changes with the individual. This time standing by her man was protecting her investment in her own career and showing deep resolve and determination.
The newly released documents report that Hillary admitted that she blamed herself for not being as good a wife as she could have been and not understanding the pressure that Bill was under from the Republicans. So, you see, even then Hillary was really standing by her man, while blaming his detractors for causing him so much stress that he was more susceptible to the attentions from wily women looking to steal him from her.
I wonder how she was not as good a wife to Bill as she should have been. Did she drive her man into the arms of Monica? of Gennifer? of Paula? of Kathleen?... She must have been mighty deficient.
