Seems right to me.
Gridlock through 2022 seems like a massive, massive favorite to me and has for years. Id guess between now and then its something like 80-85% split government the whole way, 5-10% Republicans control government at some point, 0-5% chance Democrats control government at some point (I think R's structural House advantage>>D's structural presidential advantage right now)
