Kaus is really onto something here. Why, when the base of the party is clearly attracted to Trump because of his stand on illegal immigration, doesn't the party just adopt that view. This is what your voters want. They want it so much that they will vote for Trump. Trump! Trump is looking more and more like the eventual nominee because the voters don't trust insiders. The party can't wait to try amnesty yet again in spite of their voters.
I don't think the party has time to reverse this problem. With JEB's campaign barely limping along and Rubio under the stain of his Gang of 8 foolishness, there isn't a credible candidate who can seize the anti-amnesty flag from Trump. The most likely candidate with elective experience who could steal the mantle is Ted Cruz, and the party leaders hate him far more than Trump.
