How Much Damage Has This Campaign Done?

Gerald Seib: “Elections can either pull a country together or tear it apart. With Election Day nearly at hand, it is a statement of the painfully obvious to say that Campaign 2016 fell into the latter category.”

“Worse, there is ample reason to believe the campaign has inflicted wounds that won’t be easy to heal before the politicians who survive must turn to actually governing the country. Has the nation ever before experienced an election in which leaders of one party are talking of impeaching a new president of the other party before the ballots are even in?”
