It is my opinion weeks or months from now many Republicans and Democrats will see the real damage the Republican House has inflicted on a mending nation.
It is my view some Americans' understanding of the "sequester" comes from listening to the far right neocons, while many on the left are listening and getting their news from the liberal media. Not too long ago, with confidence, many neocons on the far right claimed Mitt Romney would win the presidency. When the votes were counted and it was clear the sitting president was the winner, the liberal media were vindicated and the far right media lost credibility.
Right now, there is a campaign on the right to convince constituents the sequester allowed by the Republican House and signed by an unwilling president will not hurt the country. It is my notion the liberal media will be proven right again when the effects of the "sequester" start to show; those effects will wake up many more Republicans who voted for Republicans for the sake of the party.
Out of that wake-up, less than two years from now, the number of Republicans in the House can be reduced in the midterm elections. America can move forward with a Democratic House.
