Sen. Marco Rubio's immigration push might have hurt his chances of winning the GOP presidential nomination, Republican lawmakers say. [WATCH VIDEO]
While it’s still a long way until 2016, a number of GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate say Rubio (R-Fla.) will have to repair his standing with the conservative base if he hopes to be his party's next candidate for president.
“There's terrible disappointment with Marco Rubio specifically,” says Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), an opponent of the Senate immigration bill that Rubio helped write and pass. “I don't think it's going to help him anywhere.”

Not me.
Not ever.
I care not about the life or death of a RINO.
Fool me once...
What the heck does he need Republicans for? He’s going to have 40-50 million illegal aliens voting for him once the Eight Gangbangers get their amnesty bill passed.
Rubio needs to back off, and abandon his pro-Immigration stand.
For real.
America needs to control our borders, and to bring back American jobs.
LOL
yep....stick a fork in him..he’s done.
I only like Rubio if he splits Jeb Bush’s vote and Cruz cruises ahead of both of them.
Ha ha ha ha! Bye bye Rubio. There goes all your dreams to be the second coming if Mittens, you Amnesty Pimp!
That SOB is politically dead man walking. He can go to Hell.
Sure let him try, perhaps we can gain some ground back.
I’ll never vote for him again.
Hopefully he’ll be primaried for his senate seat.
He might as well rent a dinghy and go fishing with Fredo. He's dead to me.
Sorry, Bucko. You only get to piss in the watering trough once.
The bridge has been burned.
That is like saying Judas Iscariot needed to repair his standing with Jesus and the Apostles.
... and I’m studying to be a Chinese jet pilot.
Marco, bud, that dead albatross hanging around your neck is starting to stink. I don’t think a toothy smile and a hearty handshake is going to cut it. Best of luck in your future endeavors, whatever they turn out to be, because politics isn’t one of them.
