From a conversation between New York Times columnists Gail Collins and Bret Stephens headlined “There Are Republicans Who Feel Low After Election Day. And Then There’s Ron DeSantis.”:

Bret Stephens: Gail, remember the old Rolaids ad that asked, “How do you spell ‘relief’?” I think the answer is “m-i-d-t-e-r-m-s.”

Your thoughts about last week’s results?

Gail Collins: Feeling pretty chipper, Bret. The House breakdown looks like nobody’s going to be able to get anything much done, but that’s definitely not the worst possibility.
