Man, the public perception of the Bush family has gone up dramatically since Trump came along.

[Aristus]

All this talk of grace, class, sophistication, etc in the wake of former POTUS George H. W. Bush's death.

Once viewed as intellectually retrograde, (a visitor to the Bush family home in Kennebunkport, Maine reported that he was unable to find a book to read anywhere in the house.), the Bushes are now touted as 'Ivy League graduates'.

Once perceived (not unfairly) as swimming in an ocean of petite bourgeois mediocrity, now they are celebrated as a dynamic Kennedy-style family devoted to public service.

Their groping, handsy patriarch is now warmly remembered as classy and gentlemanly.


'Better than Trump, at least' is not, in my estimation, necessarily a good thing.
