I hope the Democrats respect the institution and the rules better than Mitch did.
And the GOP civil war is going to be fantastic.
If we spoke BaronSpeak, we would assert that the voters have spoken, and the Democrats are cleared hot to undo the filibuster, unpack the Court, and pass whatever they want to .... because they can.
But, I am not Baron. Democrats will honor the filibuster, and let the moderates (Manchin, Collins, Romney, Markowski) run the Senate.
51-49? 50-50? Not much difference. It means talk to your fellow Senator and find common ground.
Nothing gets done unless he agrees to it.

Nothin' is really more important than that.
Obtaining majority in the Senate is gravy, but certainly welcome news.
At least legislation will make it the floor for a vote. Controlling committees will also make a difference.
