I think--and I think that most Americans agree--that the scandals of the Clinton presidency were largely the result of Republican witch hunting. Only die-hard Republicans think of Clinton as "slick" or "teflon". Everyone else knows that nothing with any real sticking power was ever attempted to stick on him.
Hillary Clinton is not at all unassailable as a candidate--the illusion of her "inevitability" was a Karl Rove construction designed to put her in place as a beatable Democratic nominee. She's actually in fairly tenuous straights, when you look at her record, particularly her hawkish tendencies. But none of the attempted-scandals that were thrown at her husband's White House walls have stuck to her because they were basically groundless to begin with.
That's my opinion.
