I think the midterms was a strategic loss.
They apparently did not put a full effort into voter fraud as they did before, knowing that the end result of their policies would come to fruition just around the corner.
They let the GOP win so that 2016 will give them back everything after our economy collapses in 2015.
All they need now is a trigger event, and it wont matter a hill of beans that the GOP has not had enough time to implement a single reversal.
It doesn't matter how inept the national leadership is in the party. Politicians on the state and local level will be re-elected if voters are satisfied with their performance.
