How many serious political analysts were predicting that Barak Obama would become the Dem nominee just prior to and shortly after he announced in 2007?
If the Reps pass an amnesty, circumstances change dramatically. It is a long way to November and political attitudes can change similar to the way the generic ballot flip-flopped after the disastrous Obamacare roll out. The political punditry will react if an amnesty is passed. I can assure you that many of my fellow conservatives will stay home in 2014 or not vote for GOP members of Congress who vote for amnesty.
Eric Cantor already has a strong primary challenger who will be going after him on his GOP Dreamer amnesty. Goodlatte will also be challenged in the primary.
What good is it to have the GOP in control of the House if they use a handful of Reps and the Dems to pass legislation that most Reps are against? Boehner has violated the Hastert rule 9 times.
Dunno. But Barack Obama's announcement in 2007 was a bit further removed from November 2008 than we are now removed from November 2014.

You sound as though you are congenial to the Rule or Ruin mindset...
