Personally I think he has already given himself the obligatory fatal Republican headshot in signing on to this idiocy called immigration reform in the first place.

You could be right, Dave. It is a difficult subject for republicans.

Actually it isn't that difficult. It's just that they lack the courage of their convictions- if they ever had any.
We have been through this so many times that logic logic should have told Rubio that Comprehensive Immigration is guaranteed to destroy any goodwill he has with the Conservative Base.

Sorry- that should have read simple logic.

During his SOTU address, President Obama touched on broad immigration reform principles and commended the work bipartisan groups in both chambers are doing to draft a bill. His tone seemed to indicate he would let Congress take the lead on immigration. “Send me a comprehensive immigration reform bill in the next few months and I will sign it,” he said during the speech. But on Saturday, the White House leaked details of its own immigration proposal, which Sen. Marco Rubio has called “dead on arrival.”
