My wife, my cousin and I are all uptight about the results of today's election. Of the three of us I may be the most relaxed. As I see it, we've survived Nixon, Reagan, and Trump so far, so we can survive a possible Republican control of Congress for 2 years.
What happens in 2024? Who knows. I wouldn't bet on Biden, Harris, or Trump winning the presidency, although I would bet on the Republicans winning the Senate in 2024 (the map really really favors them--so much so Mr. Thiessen in the Post speculates that if the Republicans pick up 4 Senate seats this year, they'll have a good chance at 60 in 2024--that's disastrous).
But predictions tend to extrapolate the current situation into the future, which may not be true down the road. People will get tired of Trump, and Trump-like pols. I've already seen a post at Powerline blog, the most conservative one I follow, hoping Trum isn't the nominee in 2024.
It's all very interesting.
