A divided government

The U.S. is almost certainly promised a divided government again, we had a short term of divided government for two years from '06-'08. Divided government is not bad in fact this may be exactly what it takes to recalibrate the country. A divided government will make both sides work together even if hardcore partisans on both sides hate it it is good for the country. When you have divided government you have pragmatism come through you can't be a hardcore ideologue because then you will simply be pushed aside for members in the House or Senate that want to work and do the business of the people.
