Tancredo is a lightweight and a loose cannon.

If he was a "loose cannon" then his votes would be all over the map. Instead, as evidenced by his 100% ratings from many conservative groups, his votes are solidly conservative.

Lightweight? He founded and chairs a powerful caucus which enjoys membership by the most conservative one third of Republicans in Congress. The pressure that his leadership has applied to the President in part caused him to address the immigration reform/border security issue in an unprecedented Oval Office speech last Monday evening and has caused the President to capitulate and send troops to the border.
