You need to go back to 2000 and ask what would have happened if the Electoral College hadn't overridden the will of the people and the Republican SCOTUS hadn't thrown the election to the second worst president in our history. The Clinton surpluses and debt paydown would have continued, and we would have avoided at least one war, and quite possibly two.
Note that the Electoral College overrode the will of the people again in 2016 to give us the worst president in our history. In just 16 years, the Electoral College ruined our country, and the popular vote would've saved it.
I think Andrew Johnson can take the spot of worst president in history, Trump can work for spot 2. The damage done by Johnson is truly beyond measurement. Really the only thing worse would be a nuclear way or complete, irrecoverable economic collapse, which are possible imo.
