Yes but the problem with Dole, and with his generation in general, was a sense that they could not grasp the global economic environment we now live in. Reagan absolutely didnt understand the global economy, and Bush unfortunately was in office during the recession and gut wrenching turnaround facing man of the old-line industries at the time (auto, steel etc). That is why there was this coalition of Silicon Valley executives in 1992 that very publicly endorsed Clinton and the democratic party - highly unusual since these guys are mostly republican - but they were just too afraid that the current leaders were going to allow chip dumping etc. by the Asian tigers etc. So, there was more at stake than just maturity, it was the ability to see the US as only one player in a large economic world, vs. being the total economic world itself. Not saying a little maturity wouldnt have been nice. But Clinton seems to have a grasp of the world economic picture that Reagan/Bush struggled with. (Im talking pure economics, not politics where Bush was clearly strong)
