I miss him, but only because he looks sane in comparison to Trump.
Everyone was saying this missed Bob Dole because he seemed better in comparison to Romney and used this same logic to get all the way back to the insane logic that Ike was some kind of liberal. This is not to excuse Trump - who's insane - but just commenting on the flaws of this way of thinking.
Not really the same. With that Ike and Dole stuff, it was romanticizing past politicians, while here it's more like, "Romney was terrible and have no idea how it's possible they found someone worse." If people were praising Romney as some reasonable moderate from when the GOP used to be sane, that'd be more comparable.
