On the one hand, I'm much happier to see Donald Trump lose than John McCain because I genuinely hate his guts, and I did not hate John McCain. Bush was going to leave office either way, but taking Trump down and making him a one-termer is certainly sweet.
On the other hand, Obama's win was overall a happier moment for a few reasons: Historic moment for the country, obviously, and moreover it was part of a larger sweeping Democratic landslide that gave us a supermajority in Congress. It left us with a feeling of more "hope." Obviously this year's results were more mixed. And they suggest Trumpism might be around for a while, whereas 2008 felt like a decisive rebuke of Bush's GOP.
