In an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Tuesday night, Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio indicated that he would not support the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill he had helped author unless it is changed.

Earlier in the day, Rubio had said that immigration reform was still short of the 60 votes it needs to pass the Senate.

Cris37 indicates he won’t vote for Rubio again no matter what Rubio does.

Allen West for Senate.

The 60 vote requirement is a lie put out there to keep us focused elsewhere. As Mark Levin pointed out yesterday, Mitch McConnell has said that he will let it come to a vote without a vote on cloture. As a result, the requirement is only 51. This is a set-up.

[Hotlanta Mike]

He was for it before he was against...goodbye Marco. We hardly knew yah...

[skeeter]

Rubio has seen his political life flash before his eyes.

But no one should forget how he tried to flim-flam us.

Rubio see his numbers drop?

Let’s hope this remains true on both counts.

Looks like the intense pressure coming at him from every bastion of the conservative right is having the desired effect....but too little backing-off too late.

We can kill it in the House if it passes.

[Little Ray]

Poor Rubio is beginning to realize just how deep the hole he stepped in is and what it is filled with...

[Georgia Girl 2]

There is a great idea. Run West agains’t Rubio.

[Christie at the beach]

His polling must be taking a hit. I even noticed Rand Paul is saying the same thing now. Ha, they are so political which I know one can't assume there is no politics ever involved in these politicians’ decisions but sometimes, it takes the people to guide them. Rubio has been a let down. We here in our TP were expecting him to be more independent from the establishment. Why? Working on reforms to shrink the government.

It should have been on the breaking news sidebar.

Probably not unusual, but it is the first time I have seen two comments posted to the same exact second. Guess Jim needs to add tenths, hundredths, millies, etc.

[iceskater]

I wonder what he was promised to sign on to this pile ‘o crap?

Judging from his facebook page, he is getting near-constant heat for this pile ‘o crap. I guess he’s feeling the heat. That is my hope, anyway.

We've got a new reason (excuse) the US Senators can use to change their mind and vote against the bill. With Susan Rice who got on national TV and LIED about Benghazi or is SO STUPID she didn't do her own research in charge of national security, how can we trust this administration to even try to enforce the border security aspects. Heck, with Susan Rice in there they'll just lie and say they are!

Time to put the pressure on every fake-conservative Republican and every dem up for election in 2014.

I say give Rubio some room to repent. He'll have to disown Shumer and join Cruz in putting down McCain though.

[Perdogg]

But other Senators can object to unanimous consent

[Lakeshark]

Let's hope this is true.

If so, Rubio is still toast. He did this way too long. The bill is one more democrat disaster if it passes, that he joined in on the sham is shameful.

This is a hustle to take the heat off. Rubio is nothing but a lying self serving political hack.

The amnesty bill will pass the Senate and Rubio is in no way done with this bill. He is just setting it up for the House to pass some fake border security measures and the GOP will try to take credit for that.

Then Rubio will get on board for the final bill that comes out of conference. He will vote for it and most likely Boehner will sell us out and let the Dems pass it in the House.
