1) As of now, has Trump done anything that would cause the people who voted for him to not vote for him again (I understand it's still early, purely a theoretical question)? I say ... no not really.
2) Have the Democrats done anything to make themselves look worse than they did before the election? I say ... yes they have basically imploded.
3) Is Trump the favorite for 2020?

In 2008, the divisiveness of the election was strong enough to get it's own South Park episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/About_Last_Night..._(South_Park). Obviously, the 2016 election has caused an even bigger upheaval than 2008.

4) Are we going to witness the same relative increase in divisiveness in the next 8 years that we saw from 2008 to now?

He's actually pissed off a decent chunk of his base and republicans are getting pissed at the leadership especially over the shit stain that was the health care plan.

They need to get a win soon or this is just going to be the pace for the entire presiency.

Here's a good read regarding your first question: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/reluctant-trump-voters-swung-the-election-heres-how-they-think-hes-doing/

Yes Trump is the favorite for 2020 but he's only at about 23.5% which is extraordinarily low for an incumbent, who are usually very near 50%. This is due to his odds of finishing his term at just around 50%.

Yea, Thor is shilling as usual. Trump has literally accomplished everything on his 100-day list except for 3 or 4 items. Right now he's in ok shape.

Obama didnt pass Obummercare until a year into his prezedency to put things into perspective.

All the democrats need to do is run a likable candidate that promises lower healthcare costs and an end to the drug war and they will take 60+% of the country.

Sanders too old and Warren won't be nominated. Warren would only get support if she was willing to move towards left center instead of far left like she is.

Most likely a charismatic left center democrat will get the nomination.
