The Republican party lost the House because they shot themselves in the foot and failed to deliver on lowering healthcare costs for a portion of its base. The Democratic party has the luxury of being able to shoot itself and remain in office because it has a base that is reliant on it to provide them all kinds of stuff associated with education and social programs directly related to their lives. Fortunately, the bulk of it is related to the areas that we are watching as they're  beginning to show  obvious signs of a major social breakdown and obvious signs of a government  system that's financially break down as well.

I might buy tickets to a foot shooting contest. You are correct, both are pretty good at it. Can you picture them painting concentric circles on their shoes?

For most of the conservative era, the Republicans have been cutting domestic spending. I suspect they have gone well past the point of diminishing returns. I suspect a restoration is more likely than the break down you are suggesting.
