Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWill an angry Cantor allow the Senate Immigration Bill to hit the House floor?
He still has immense power as majority leader to set the House's agenda, is it a pipe-dream to think he might let the Senate bill hit the floor as a sort of revenge against the anti-immigration groups that deposed him?
He has always seemed more open than anyone in the GOP leadership to moving some sort of immigration legislation. I doubt he would even consider it as it would kill any chance he has for a comeback, but he could truly do the country a service and partially redeem his irresponsible behavior while in Congress.

That message is being heard loud and clear, as that was the big issue in the race.
