The problem with Rmoney is that he is not particularly inspirational.
Reagan pulled it off, but he had the actor's skill of speaking like he was everyone's friend / neighbor.
Bush* was consistently stupid enough on the surface that the majority through 2004 did not take him as the elitist sociopath he actually was. (someone who would joke about an execution he signed off on, go to a party while people died in NOLA, say "bring it on" to insurgents while troops were in harm's way... I am pretty sure FDR never told the Germans to "bring it"
We have been dealing with the backwash of Obama's inspiration for 4 years now. Keeping real governing even close to as inspirational as his speeches has proven impossible, at least without 65+ senate seats. Even with that many seats it would have been very tough to make reality meet the visions people had.
