I do think there are parallels here with Senator "Darth Vader" Dole, unsuccessful Republican presidential candidate.
Dole made such serious errors and stupidly ill-considered remarks while his wife sought the nomination later that many felt he was deliberately sabotaging her.
Reportedly, his wife felt that way too.
I'm sure there is an element of this with Bill Clinton. After all, despite his superficial charm, his lifetime behavior shows a pretty cavalier attitude towards women.
