The Republicans lose the House if the Democrats get a D+5 edge in Congressional balloting nationwide. Through gerrymandering the Republicans have a built-in advantage by 'packing and stacking' and were able to maintain control of the House in 2012 despite getting fewer votes nationwide in House races than Democrats, they have lots of R+3 or so seats to lose.

Making government unworkable three months before the Congressional election. That is a high-risk gamble with a small reward in the event of success. I'm no gambler, but that seems the stupidest of all possible bets. If one is to take a bet with a low chance of success, then take something with a big payoff.
