If we forgive bad behavior when it is revealed because we assume everyone else is doing then we ensure that we are correct and everyone else will be doing since there are no consequences.

That changed the way presidents behaved but if had gotten away with then it would have changed nothing.

Actually, I think they view her as better than other politicians due to the dishonesty.
