I think having a split congress and executive is usually for the best. Checks and balances and all that. Though the dems were surprisingly benign when they fumbled it around aimlessly for awhile there.

I don't think the Republicans will win the house and the senate, but even if they do, it will change absolutely nothing. The checks and balances have been bastardized so much, on the federal and many cases, state level, that our government is hopelessly broken. This is far from the democracy that was created 246 years ago. State legislatures changing laws to give governors less power, as if controlling they legislative branch isn't enough. Filibusters in the federal legislature, enacted 170 years after our founding, created to stifle civil rights, continue to block progress, for either party. We can't even have appointees for the SCOTUS and cabinet without wheeling and dealing or just flat out refusing to take votes until one side gets their way.
Neither party is at all remotely interested in governing. Gaining or maintaining power, to help raise money, is currently the only goal of both political parties. Checks and balances, as we learned in middle school civics, is long dead.
