Rubio does appear to be in a panic. He got himself onto the Hugh Hewitt Show last night, unannounced. There was a guest host. He was trying frantically to defend this. He sounded like one scared cat.
Hugh Hewitt has been ridiculously weak on this issue, like he is most issues. Hugh posted on his webpage how the Cornyn Ammendment was so important to the process and securing the border. Hugh completely leaves out the Grassley ammendment that the Gang of 8 voted against. Hugh is convinced that a bill has to be produced which can pass the House, otherwise he thinks the GOP will lose the House in 2014. Hugh always buys into the “gotta do anything to win the next election” obsession, and as a result the GOP passes bad bills and keeps losing elections.
