The reason Hillary is hated so much is that she's been the 'presumptive nominee' for 8 years, and we've known in some way that eventually she was setting herself up for a run at the presidency for much longer. Every action she's taken has been scrutinized at 1000x magnification, every exploitable issue she's been involved with has hit the Faux News cycle, and every half truth and misrepresentable opinion has been nurtured and released into the carefully cultivated and germinated white hate machine that Faux News has crafted over the last 20 years. She's not perfect, but in this day and age with any politician, you could literally find 100 things that can be blown out of proportion and made to look damning.
The Republicans don't do that. Because their own poison would bite them. So they trot out a plethora of morons onto a debate stage and let them throw shit at each other until there is only one standing, but that fucked them this cycle. Their own propaganda machine brought out the birthers, the truthers, the science deniers, the 'persecuted' Christians, the doomsday preppers, and the racist underbelly of America, and pointed them at their new god. They wanted to make America angry at President Blackenstein and the march of social progress that was making the white, Christian, middle class male less of a phenomenon---and it worked. Too well. Now they have their candidate, and his past is starting to show up.
I'd imagine that the timing of this is not arbitrary. Right before the second debate. It's all anyone is going to want to talk about. And you know that Donald won't be able to help talking about Bill in the worst tu quoque of all time. The tacit declaration being---"yeah, I sexually assaulted women because I think my billionaire status affords me certain privileges---namely to kiss and grope women without their permission---but Bill told me something crazy on the golf course once." Maybe KellyAnn will remind him that Bill isn't running for president. But probably not.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
