I hope that works out as predicted. There is a vast swath of conservatives,, however, who believe that giving any ground at all is a betrayal of their principles, Some would rather stale-mate Congress into oblivion than move an inch.

Whether or not that results in losing their seats in elections depends on their constituents. I wonder if some would retain theri seats precisely because they have proved to be immovable. The 'birds of a feather' effect in communities has far-reaching political implications.
