The result you claim is not truth.
In captive red areas it is nearly impossible to unseat an incumbent, so the re-election of a lot of the same house members is not a ratification of gridlock.
The house would buckle and compromise if orders come down from the top. These politicians are paid mercenaries for their benefactors and do what their benefactors want, NOT what the voters want. Frequently GOP congressmen vote against things that have 70% approval of republicans and higher approval of independent and democrats.
Going back to what I wrote, Wall Street contributors decide what the congress votes for, not red state voters.
Wall Street is in a very weak bargaining position this time. The list of big red contributors is pretty easy to locate and there's a lot to fear when you make the Senate and President mad at you.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Senate held some hearings with publicity ver bad for particular businesses.
Economic Terrorism by the GOP ends, or you will find out what the other side feels in a very personal way.

C. Boyden Gray, heir to slaveowner tobacco plantation fortune & RJ Reynolds money, leveraged his trust funds to hostile takeover of AOL, rolled that over Time-Warner-CNN.
C. Boyden Gray was Chairman of CSE (Koch Citizens for a Sound Koch Economy) during the 2002-2005 period that CSE prototyped the US TEA PARTY and hosted the USTEAPARTY.COM website on CSE.org servers.
CSE morphed into Dick Armey's FREEDOMWORKS-CSE (google it) and AFP (Americans for Koch Prosperity) (google it), which co-created the T.E.A. party with Rupert Murdoch's Fox News.
CNN is Fox-lite because it is owned by the same organized crime gang.

Bernie Sanders might be a good Senate Leader, as an "Independent" from a bluish state.
Patty Murray proved herself capable with her winning five hard seats last night, and she could stand up to republicans.
Harry Reid needs to drop the filibuster for two years EXACTLY WHAT THE GOP WOULD DO ON DAY ONE OF THE NEXT SESSION if they had 51 seats right now.
The Filibuster was used as a weapon. It's time to disarm the troublemakers. The Senate might not pass any laws with a divided congress but it can fill every vacant court seat in the Federal Bench, and it can ratify every treaty sent to it by Obama.
That will not happen if Harry Reid stays leader and the filibuster exists.
