None of these presidents ruled in a nation as divided as it is today. The pre-Civil War period (say, 1848-1860) would be the only basis for comparison, and those presidents are not listed.

The way I see it, Trump can do one last thing of value for America. Like a flawed hero who is mortally wounded, he can step out and draw enemy fire for as long as possible before he bleeds out. The more time the Democrats and their allies in the autocracy spend litigating and orating and bloviating against Trump, the less time and energy they have to be pushing forward an anti-American and anti-human agenda. So ironically my message to Trump now is: your mouth and your ego caused tonight's disaster, more than any other single factor. But now it is your greatest gift. Just be yourself and pull the anti-Americans down into the abyss with you. And cut Vance and Rubio and the rest loose to focus on demonstrating good policy positions and being the adults in the room for 2028.

(Actually sooner, as I expect Vance to be president before then. The impeachment that is coming will be hogwash, but as we saw from the farcical Ukraine impeachment attempt the merits of the impeachment argument are virtually irrelevant.)

It would be a nice touch of irony if he ended up doing what the Lefties had dreamed for Kamala...8 years, plus, as POTUS.
