Two years of gridlock. The market will be happy. Perhaps there will be less volatility. There's a good case that last night's result was the best result possible.
If Democrats got the Senate somehow, and we had an impeachment, we'd be on a rollercoaster for the next two years. That's not where anyone wants to be in the midst of so much uncertainty elsewhere.
I think this is a great result. Trump is checked and maybe if we're lucky we'll see some compromises between the parties on policy.
I'd drink either way, of course.
