Without the disaster that was the George W. Bush term, do we get an Obama Presidency? Eventually, I'm sure (he was too good to keep out of the White House), but probably not as early as 2008. So if you're looking for a silver lining.

Just like if Hillary had defeated Trump in 2016, Joe Biden probably would have never become President. And his first term has been one of the most consequential Presidencies of my lifetime.
