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.

Senate would have been better than the house, if we got to choose. Next court pick Trump might pick someone CONVICTED of something just to see if he can get that through.
