No way. At least GHWB looked a bit more vigorous back in the day than Yeb does now. Plus, the Bush name in 1980 wasn't the poison that it is now.
“At least GHWB looked a bit more vigorous back in the day”
I don’t think the looks had anything to do with it and the
Bush was not very well liked for his underhanded attack on Reagan during the debates. Then he went on to go down in
defeat by Clinton and Perot. A total looser and a disaster
as president but a nice pseudo guy.
