OKLAHOMA CITY, August 13, 2013 ― The election of Senator Marco Rubio to the U.S. Senate in 2010 was a moment of celebration for the newly formed Tea Party movement as Rubio became known as the “Tea Party darling.”
Rubio’s stump speech about his family’s escape from Fidel Castro’s Cuba never failed to bring people to their feet. The speech reminded his listeners that America is the greatest country on earth and a beacon to the world’s oppressed.
Upon being sworn in, Rubio fought hard against Obamacare and worked to get the U.S. back on the path of economic success. He took his campaign rhetoric to the Senate floor and to news talk shows.
The federal government was wrecking the economy, and Congress had lost touch with the common people. Rubio sang the Tea Party’s tune, becoming the Tea Party poster child. When Mitt Romney became the GOP candidate, Tea Partyers wanted Rubio to be the vice-presidential nominee in 2012.
Rubio’s stance on immigration reform has now put him out of tune with the Tea Party. His participation in the gang of eight has taken him out of grace. Rather than humbly admit error and return to the fold, he went on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show to urge Americans to support the Senate’s immigration reform bill.
A friend of Rubio’s from his Tea Party honeymoon stage, political pundit Ann Coulter, has attacked him for his views on immigration reform. She isn’t alone, but he may not care. His role in immigration reform may signify the start of his 2016 presidential campaign, and he may have decided that the Tea Party won’t get him to the White House.
The conventional wisdom is that in order to win the 2016 Presidential election, Republicans must reach out to Hispanic voters...

Maybe these fools should try promoting bills that benefit a different group such as, I dunno, US citizens??

By the way, the headline writer can't use the word "alienated", it's racist.
He’s dead, Jim.
Bingo Bump!!
Stick a fork in him...he’s done!
yup
Do they think that Hispanics are emailing and calling their congress critters advocating that illiterate illegal aliens be given amnesty?
YES
Yep, he used the TP for his own advantage. Now he wants to be ‘the one’ who gets immigration for the GOP. Climbing the mountain of success in America with only him on his mind. POS! Let him blow his cuban cigar smoke up his latino a**.
Yep.
Let's see him try it without us.
Dead to me.
