infighting continues:

What Rand Paul doesn’t say and what Marco Rubio will find it hard to say is Rubio and Chuck Schumer blocked Paul’s amendment because a vote on it would have been a large game of “Gotcha!” and if the amendment had been part the final bill then it would have been filibustered.

But what makes this a problem for Rubio is that if he counters with the truth he will remind primary voters that he wanted to pass a comprehensive immigration bill. Even though he’s changed his mind on the matter some voters will still hold it against him.

So Rand Paul has given Marco Rubio a Kobiyashi Maru scenario. We’ll have to see if Rubio has some Capt. Kirk in him.
