Would agree pretty much with that statement, assuming you are talking about the Washington establishment parties. The possible equalizer, though, is that the potential GOP base is much wider than the 'Rats, since conservatives are supposedly about 40% of the electorate, lefties of various stripes about 20%.
But the 'Rats have a huge edge in implementing election procedures that intrinsically corrupt the voting process and in taking maximum advantage of the opportunities through election cheating and fraud schemes. I'm not advocating that the GOP should measure up to them in sleazy tactics, but should at least be aware of them and come up with a strong agenda aimed at election procedure changes so as to reduce the quantitative impact of 'Rat fraud and cheating on election results.
And they’ll implement those reforms right after the next election, held under the present procedures, which maximize fraud and cheating. Something wrong with this picture? But even so, senior Rats are retiring. Leaving a sinking ship?
“”The (only) measurable difference between the Democrats and the Republicans today is that, in the main, the Democrat Party listens to its base. The Republican Party takes pitchforks to its base.”

It has to do with the demographics of Washington D.C. Politicians by nature as a group are of the personality type that likes to pay and please the crowd around them.
Politicians don’t just do as the Romans in Rome, they become Romans. The problem for us conservatives really is Washington D.C. itself, or rather the 90% democrat political culture thereto. You want to control your politicians keep them home as much as possible and vote remotely (from home) as much as possible.
