Well, one significant difference here is that Donald Trump is running for President, and Bill Clinton isn't.

Barely. The Clintons have long campaigned as a two for one deal. She announced that if elected, he will be "in charge of reinvigorating the economy".

Yet other women have consistently claimed over decades that Clinton sexually assaulted them. And today women are coming forward accusing Trump of sexual assault.
There seems to be very little difference; both men have probably assaulted women in the past and abused their power to get away with it. I don't think arbitrarily slanting the narrative to defend one and condemn the other serves anybody. In fact, sweeping sexual assault under the rug when it doesn't serve your political agenda is a pretty horrible thing to do.
