“I have to place trust in my God. Thy will be done.”

That is what I have been remembering for a while now, especially last night after a long day of working the election. I didn’t want to hear coverage. It doesn’t matter. I went to bed and woke up with Trump elected. Yay! I went to bed last night and woke up with a Dem house.

BUT, as I told my daughter last night, we have gotten some much more conservative, pro-life Senators and good governors (Walker excepted). That is huge to me and the process of confirming judges can go forward with more reliable votes.

I can’t help but think we dodged a bullet not getting McCarthy into the Speakership. Even if he “supported” Trump he is not a good spokesperson. Mealy mouthed in my opinion and he wouldn’t have helped the public image. Sadly, Ryan had a better image but was useless promoting conservative positions and more of an empty pretty suit. Glad he is gone.

The Dems have a couple of years to show themselves. Repubs have to take advantage of their performance though. Social media must be broken up, not regulated.

All in all I am surprisingly satisfied even if I cannot stand to hear NP and James Brown’s Wig (great moniker). I wonder which predictors came out looking good? Some of the most confident ones I read are looking a little bit like Karl Rove today. For one of them this is the second or third time their extreme positive confidence has not turned out as predicted.
