Imagine if Hillary Clinton won. Sure, Democrats might get a SCOTUS pick or two, but it would be the same shit as second term Obama. GOP would strengthen their grip on both chambers of Congress and then likely take the WH in 2020.
With Trump, the Democratic base has been reignited for decades to come. Trump helped make the ACA, previously an unpopular piece of legisglation, and universal healthcare popular. He's been an absolute boon for liberalism in America.
Two scotus picks is massive though.
Also the aca was already popular as long as you didn't call it by it's name. It's popularity is most evident in rural Kentucky for fucks sake as long as you don't call it obamacare
