I think it’s more than just that. Bill Clinton was the “cool” candidate, smooth and quick with a smile.
He got a lot of votes for that alone.
As will Greasy Gavin, from people who do not know of him today.
And he had H.Ross Perot run as a spoiler. Perot hated the Bushes.
Well, in 2028 it's gonna be the HillBilly vs. The greaser con man - It will be interesting where the vanity vote goes.
IMHO there was also the matter of the Republicans having had the WH 3 terms in a row. It’s hard for one party to maintain the WH so long (without fraud and without Santa Claus giveaways from govt).
