It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

I meant that his ELECTION prospects are worse, in part BECAUSE life in general is better and many have forgotten just how awful it used to be.

It's much easier to get elected on "we know he's not the most exciting candidate, but at least he's better than the one ruining your life right now" than on "we know he's been underwhelming but at least he hasn't been catastrophic like the one who used to ruin your life"
