Maybe there's an exception to make for 1988 and maybe 2020, but I feel like each presidential loser since at least 1968 came off as more "elitist" than the ultimate winner. Would you say this notion true?

1988 was definitely the exception, and you can even make an argument for 1980 as Carter really never came of as elitist

That's true for 1980, though Reagan didn't either and like Carter four years earlier, he ran as some kind of outsider.

1988 could have been different if the Democrats didn't nominate a weak candidate who ran an incomptent campaign.
