This proves that theory wrong
"I think Bill Clinton was a great president,’" Trump said in the interview that was conducted shortly after the 2008 presidential election on NY1's "Inside City Hall" program.
"You know, you look at the country then. The economy was doing great. Look at what happened during the Clinton years. I mean we had no war, the economy was doing great, everybody was happy. A lot of people hated him because they were jealous as hell,’" Trump said.
So why didn't Gore win? He just wasn't a guy you could drink a beer with. LITERALLY, that is why voters went with Bush. He seemed more relatable. Voters clearly didn't appreciate what Clinton did or they would have given Gore 4 years.
You're hoping JD gets treated like HW Bush. He got 4 years after Reagan but proved to be no Reagan.
I predict like Clinton, Obama and Biden, whoever we elect as our next president will have to clean up his predecessors mess.
