I'm not sure which emotion ...

... I'm feeling more strongly tonight: the joy of having won the House, or the warm-and-fuzzies knowing Spanky is scared shitless.

His staff have been bracing him for this possibility, and what it will mean. But you know that his ego kept Trump believing, right up to the bitter end, that HE would prevail.

There's a world of hurt in store for Spanky - and it's probably only sinking in now.

The Democrats are now a check on his power, and control the gavel on key committees.

The Dems now have the power to subpeona documents and witnesses, and can launch investigations.

If Trump is "fine" tonight, it's because he still doesn't understand what this means - which, given his abject stupidity, is entirely possible.
