Why is a Republican victory in 2014 unstoppable, inevitable,a sure thing [View all]

???
What exactly have they done that would make Americans rush to put them in control of the congress. I've seen at least three news stories in major publications state, it's all but over for Democrats in congress and by extension, Obama's presidency. I even heard a couple people in my TV say this yesterday.

What Have the Repulicans done to cause this ?

What have I missed ??????
