Someone with this Ocasio-Cortez lady's likability, but with a slightly centrist tilt on immigration and a "leave people's lives alone" tilt on LGBT/abortion/guns would be a sure winner in a bunch of swing seats
It depends on how strongly people feel about the various subheaders that fall under the label of immigration. I personally think people are more strongly opoosed to policies that incentivize illegal immigration than cuts to legal immigration

Since illegal immigration is now relatively low and the people in the areas who receive the most of it are least against it, I doubt the opposition is that entrenched or really fundamentally about policy. Besides polls keep turning more pro-imm under Trump

Rs would do well to find a compromise w Ds imho but their base is implacable so they seem paralyzed

The Dem position seems increasingly radical so the smart thing for GOP to do is just let them one up each other, especially given the election results in Mexico.
-
If there were a GOP able to hold on to the moderate positions outline above, I'd agree. But the GOP has already shown itself to be extremist and is the party in power. So probably it'll be more that the election is a referendum on GOP policies
