I think Trump being so insane and debased from the norm of politics definitely made some look back at W and think "at least he understood the world wasn't his personal reality show." Low bar, sure, but it's sort of impossible not to make those comparisons.
There is also the fact that there seemed to be a massive media campaign to rehab his image in the past 4-8 years. The stories of him being besties with Michelle Obama, the painting stuff (which admittedly I think dude is a good painter), the talk show tours. There has definitely been a concerted effort to make W more palatable. In reality, I'm sure W is a pretty good guy, but he was responsible for some seriously destructive fuck ups that will likely continue to define my lifetime.
There's nothing here!
