I guess in retrospect he seemed moderate in an "elder statesman" kind of way. In politics, there's this perception that the young politicians have the bold and radical ideas while the older ones are wiser and level headed. That isn't always the case of course.

Honestly though I don't think that's really a common political meme. His campaign is known for being boring more than anything. People also joked that he was a "square" since he was so old, and he fell off the stage that one time.
