hard to hope, when they are guaranteeing that if this immigration bill goes through that Republicans will never win another election. Not quite sure what Rubio is thinking about but he self-immolated on this issue and there will be no coming back.

I think Rubio is too much of a Floridian to “get” how border states (and others) view illegal immigration-there is a difference between Cubans in Florida and illegals from south of the border in Texas, Arizona, etc.

Ted Cruz is an ethnic Cuban, like Rubio, but he is from Texas, so he might as well be of the same Mexican ancestry as the rest of us here who are native-born for many generations. It is a whole different world in Florida, and I think Rubio is looking at it through Miami glasses...

I also think the GOP is changing, and I’m all for that-the establishment GOP won’t like it, but they have gotten damn near as bad as the ‘rats on fostering the nanny state and corruption, in my opinion. I want to be part of a party that embraces liberty as defined in the constitution-call it that, call it libertarian, whatever...
