It certainly would have been harder. But, what were the other choices? Al Gore, who has demonstrated his insanity, and John F'n Kerry, who would have been a disaster also.
A couple of generations ago, I remember hearing how fortunate the USA had been, in that when a crisis occurred, great leaders arose. It was part of our frontier heritage, and part of our exceptionalism.
There were no great leaders to be had after Reagan. Perhaps, until now. It was all bad choices in the GWB years.

I guess you could invoke the Pogo comment: “we have met the enemy and he is us!” The truth of the matter the GOPe has been “pi$$ing on our legs and telling us it was raining” for probably most of my adult life. It’s why now the real fear we should have is that the GOPe and their “financiers” will try to pull the rug out from under Trump given the chance. But I think Trump knows they are a bunch of “worthless a$$holes” and so he will deal with them by taking his case directly to the people. Along with fixing the SCOTUS, doing away with all of Obola’s EO’s, replacing Obamacare, he needs to make sure that he completely reorganizes the GOP ( or alternatively, kills it) so like the RATS, it cannot come back any time soon as an effective party run by the globalist elites.
