The media and Clinton pushed GHWB around hard the entire time. He was terrible in the debates. Honestly, he acted like Hillary did in 2016, like he really shouldn’t even have to run.
Honestly, it’s absurd to call someone who as a teenager flew combat aircraft off a carrier against the Japanese in WW2 a wimp. But the media did, over and over again. And it stuck, partly because GHWB was too genteel and didn’t fight back. Plus, he was elitist and socially distant.
He was getting killed in the debates by Clinton and acted like he didn’t care and the whole thing was beneath him.

Don't forget that his approval numbers after the gulf war were at one point in the 90's. They were so high that a lot of dems didn't want to run against him for the presidency. That is how Bill Clinton, the hick gov from Arkansas ended up with the nomination. HW was so damn complacent, that his staff had to beg him to campaign, and by the time he got around to it Slick had built up considerable momentum.

Funny you mention the “wimp factor” stuff.
Know how he ended up killing that? Taking a hit piece by Dan Rather and shoving it back up his arse live on the air.
If Dan hadn’t aired a hit piece right before interviewing 41, we might have had President Dukakis.

How crazy is it that they’re all wearing basically the same tie
