Trumpism wins!

No matter who gets the White House, it will be the same
old Senate, and a House more even than now.

The Republican Party is permanently Trumpist now, most
likely, and non-Trumpist Republicans need to find a
new gig.

Landslide victory!

No matter who wins the White House, it looks like the
Senate and House will be too evenly split to accomplish
anything for the next four years, with state elections
preserving the status quo.

That's unconditional victory for Putin, Xi - and Q.

Insuring against the 12th Amendment!

Under minority rule, it's amazing how few local votes it
takes to change the results for the country.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/election-house-trump-presidency/2020/10/01/d5bf9d12-0375-11eb-897d-3a6201d6643f_story.html

The 12th Amendment defends minority rule and should be
revamped against future crises, but rural states won't.
