repubs should be glad that house dems are run incompetently. Repubs will take back house, and senate, in 2 years, guaranteed, due to dems doing absolutely nothing with power.

The rich own both parties and like to keep the balance around 50-50 and slightly changing hands every few years. If one party gets too much power it would make it hard to believe that nothing changes.

I know a local politician who switched parties as he was losing votes as a Democrat and kept his seat as a Republican as the voting mood changed.

yeah so why would the local republican party allow that, wouldn't they be worried the democrat was tricking them and was prepared to get in as a republican but then push liberal policies? No because they knew there was no real difference in the parties anyway.
