If we had elected McCain in 2008, we still would have had massive new health care regulations and subsidies designed to get close to universal coverage.
But if we had elected Clinton in 2016, abortion would still be a right at the federal level, and no one would be talking about coups and election violence.
I really think the 2016 election was the only one that changed much in my lifetime.  It had one impact I'll call positive and one very negative impact.
