Just before the election I predicted that Biden would win in a landslide and that Republicans would be in the political wilderness for a generation. I was right about the winner but completely wrong about the magnitude. Except for losing the Presidency the Republicans had a pretty good day.
The Senate hasn’t been decided yet but I’m willing to predict that the Republicans will hold at least one of the seats in the runoff election in Georgia and will therefore control the Senate with 51 votes. Split government means either deadlock or compromise both of which are better than a move toward the progressive ideas in the Democrat platform.
We shall see. There is a lot of uncertainty about the economy because of Covid and it appears that it will continue to consume us until the spring. I’ll update WWIT (What Was I Thinking) about Covid in a few days.
