   Democrats have won four of the last seven elections — yet, notes   
   ­National Review’s Jim Geraghty, they owe all of those victories   
   to the ­“immensely talented” Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack   
   Obama, two “larger-than-life charismatic figures.” When the   
   party lacks such unifiers, “Democratic infighting gets ugly,” as   
   it did in 2004 and 2016 and has this year. Clinton’s and Obama’s   
   charisma let them “unite an instinctively divided party”; when   
   Dems lack such an “exceptionally magnetic figure,” Republicans   
   have the advantage. The party is now “begrudgingly” getting   
   behind Joe Biden, “the consensus choice of last resort.” But it   
   may be ­“impossible to unite” without someone “on the scale of   
   Clinton or Obama.”
