> when Bush Sr ran he didn't realize what he was going up against until it was too late

I still remember watching that moment in the town hall when it hit me that he was going to win, and probably by a good margin. He was smooooth.

Coincidentally, I also remember watching Hillary Clinton do the dance thing during a debate with Trump and that's the moment I decided she might actually lose despite everyone suggesting it was going to be a blowout. Told my wife "If she loses, it will be because of that attitude." She definitely does not have Bill's charisma.

As someone who grew up in Arkansas, even as a kid we all knew the rest of the country had no idea what was coming. A Democrat who managed to win the governorship in Arkansas is, uh, impressive.
