Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) doesn’t believe the Gang of Eight immigration bill – which he authored — has enough votes to break a possible filibuster on the Senate floor.

When asked on “Fox and Friends” Tuesday whether the bill has 60 “yes” votes, Rubio replied: “No, and I think even the Democrats would concede that.”

“There’s a few reasons for it, but one of the things we’ve learned over the last few weeks through the open process that happened through the committee process and all the public input that we’ve gotten is how little confidence people have that the federal government will enforce the law,” Rubio continued.

The full Senate will begin considering the legislation, which passed the Judiciary Committee last month on a 13-5 vote, next week.

1. He has no say in this. He's just tagging along for the credit when it comes.

2. DiFi swore on a stack of newly printed Bibles that she could pass it with her Republican

friends as long as protections for LGBT people were removed before her Republican friends had to so much as look at it.
Funny the Republicans are not lining up to eat out of her bigoted hands.

3. She screwed immigration reform and gun control

when she failed to back the filibuster reform. If anything productive came out of this Congress in the next 19 months I'd be shocked as hell.
