The good news is that the GOP in the House and Senate will approve this compromise and won't put this to a vote. Now you'll see the Dems go nuts that there won't be a vote.

I think this is largely a good deal. It obviously is a good business deal for DP World, or they wouldn't do it.

It may keep congress from passing a stupid law and undermining our free markets. It keeps the issue in the business realm where it always belonged.

It leaves the democrats without an issue, but they will push for something anyway which may lead to typical overstepping.

Harry Reid wants to still have a vote. Maybe the U.S. senate will be stupid enough to do that, but they wouldn't.

Harry Reid says he doesn't know WHO will own the ports under this agreement. But he had no idea who would own the ports if they forced the sale.
