Let’s say Congressman Tom Tancredo represents your views on illegal immigration. You’re angry at the GOP leadership for not espousing his positions; you’ve concluded that they don’t listen to him. Do you really think the ball will get moved in your direction by throwing the party that has Tancredo out, and replacing it with the party that doesn’t have a Tancredo figure in it at all?
Do you really think a Democratic Congress will get tough on illegal immigration?
Geraghty later did an analysis of upcoming elections and the scenario he presents shows evidence that the likely result would be more Democrat and Republican-in-name-only candidates winning, not more conservative candidates who are better on the issue of immigration.

I think we are at the point where there is a wing of conservative who want the Republicans to lose seats to the Democrats to make a point.
