He also said things would be volatile financially with Trump win. Said would be stable if Clinton won, BUT, said if the Senate also turned Democratic, little more volatile, than if it remained in Republican control. I didn't like to hear that. He said stability always sides with same old same old, even if totally in gridlock. That's the true conservative view, I suppose. Never change anything, never improve or update or move forward. Ugh.
