We are not necessarily screwed. In terms of "Good Cop/Bad Cop", Bush was the worst of both worlds. He didn't know how to play "Good Cop" and basically sucked at "Bad Cop". Any of the top three candidates in either party will get a tremendous amount of goodwill by simply not being GWB, similar to the goodwill GWB received post-9/11. And whether they decide to play Good Cop. Bad Cop, or a combination, will definitely do better than Bush.
The can of whoopass unleashed on the GWB appointees in State, Justice, and Defense will be phenomenal. All presidents clean house to some degree. Everyone acknowledged that GWB technically had the right to fire all of the attorneys. Still, many administrations keep some individuals in place, if only to provide continuity.
In this case, I think even if a Republican wins there will be almost as much of a housecleaning as if Hillary had won.
