I'll leave this here:

Is Trump, like Carter, a disjunctive President?

It's a pretty interesting comparison, and says a lot not only about the similarities between the two elections and presidents, but also of the party coalitions and how they were/are at the end of their functional cycle.

Also interesting that in 1976 the eastern half of America went Democratic and the western half Republican while in 2016 the reverse happened.

I suspect that just as Ford is remembered positively thanks to being preceded by Nixon and succeeded by Carter, Obama will be remembered positively thanks to being preceded by Dubya and succeeded by Trump.
