O'Reilly supposedly paid out big dollars which equated to "guilty". Look at the women that came out of the woodwork on Trump after the Billy Bush audio tape. He brushed it all off and got elected President.
Yes, Trump did a good job of treating it like the petty distraction it actually was, and putting the focus back on the issues. I think it was a bit of a miscalculation to try that with Trump anyway, when his opponent was Hillary, with her behavior after what Bill did. It was easy to turn the tables and make it hurt Hillary just as much.
I personally turned it around on Hillary with my young niece. This was her first presidential election and she was undecided. When the Trump charges came out she was aghast, naively buying the "outrage", and declaring she now wouldn't vote for Trump, but when I educated her on the Clintons' past, I think that was the nail in the coffin for Hillary as far as she was concerned. I'm pretty sure she went third party, but her vote didn't go to Hillary. I know I'm not the only person who brought up Bill's dallyings when they tried that shit on Trump. I think it backfired badly.
