[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is actually going to turn out great for the Ds.  They're going to end up with a 51-49 Senate and R House with a single digit majority.  Everyone will understand that no controversial legislation has any chance in the House, so there will be no pressure to pass it.  This will let centrists in the House and Senate continue to play centrist.  The power-sharing agreement with McConnell will be torn up, and Schumer will be able to focus on confirmations and hopefully we can get some balance back on the lower courts.  The Senate should be a confirmation machine for the next two years.

Meanwhile, Biden will have a foil over in the House.  McCarthy (if he even win the speaker election) is going to be threatened non-stop by his crazies while also trying to not kill the re-election chances for the dozen or so blue state Rs in NY, NJ, MD and CA that are giving him his majority.  The crazies are going to want government shutdowns and debt ceiling fights to force cuts in SS and Medicare, which will be toxic in most of America.  If he resists, he will be the enemy of the right and if he gives in the R brand will take a beating.  [/quote]

As long as the progressives shut up - brilliant.

And I still think it’ll be 50/50 - not that it matters with the House under R control. [/quote]

50/50 vs 50/49 matters because 50/50 requires the power-sharing agreement, which gives McConnell tools to slow down confirmations.[/quote]
