WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans' hopes to reclaim the White House in the 2016 elections hinge on whether they support — or sabotage — the immigration overhaul being debated in the Senate, two lawmakers who helped write the proposal warn.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday told conservatives who are trying to block the measure that they will doom the party and all but guarantee a Democrat will remain in the White House after 2016's election. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., went a step further and predicted "there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party" if immigration overhaul fails to pass.
"I would tell my Republican colleagues, both in the House and the Senate, that the road to the White House comes through a road with a pathway to legalization," Menendez said. "Without it, there'll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party."

You are right; even the liberal states of WI and OR, said to be conducive to a liberal Republican candidate, repudiated RomneyRyan.
Yes, SC people must be the most uninformed in the nation.
All the large TX cities are Democrat except for Fort Worth, but the metro areas have been competitive for some time.
“Without it, there’ll never be a road to the White House for the Republican Party.”
Spoken like a commy liberal that he is.
Who cares they make up 7% of the voting block. This is about taking over a couple of red states and trying to water down their redness. It is also about Agenda 21 and working toward the global family. Other countries want unfettered access to us and our technology and bankrupting us with entitlements and social programs.
The underlying nasty theme is to destroy our Americanism and make us nothing more than a banana republic with a very small ruling class.
Not to be believed.
The tax-financed video is a rollicking, playful take on the Cheech and Chong movie, "Coming to America"....a belly-laugh comedy about drug-laden natives crossing the border illegally.
Sen Schumer plays Cheech and Sen Rubio plays Chong.
Janet Napolitano plays "Rosita," owner of the Mexican cantina, "Reconquista"....she's seen pouring tequila shots for the future US citizens, who are gathered to fill out welfare, EITC refund, and voter registration forms...all in Spanish.
Cameo roles feature Obama as a lovable, compassionate, braindead Stepen Fetchit character who sweeps up the cantina. Michele Obama plays "Conchita," a fiery senorita who has a (cough) room above the cantina.
Sen Menendez plays a helpful "coyote" charging the impoverished Mexicans $10,000 each for a ride across the border and a packet of forged documents.
Barbara Boxer greets the illegals in lace-trimmed mantilla and castanets---performing a rip-roaring Mexican Hat Dance as the illegals cross the border.
Eric Holder portrays "Pepe"---a fast and furious gun-linger in sombrero and serape----who can only say six words in Spanglish---"We dunt need no steeken badjes."
Clearly, The Gang of Eight is getting their marching orders from Third World hellholes and organized latino pressure groups inside the US.
OMINOUS SILENCE Conspiculously silent is the tax-funded Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Voto Latino, the numerous tax- funded Hispanic Federations, the tax-funded blood thirsty La Raza, as well as countless "latino legal rights" groups.
===========================================
"Citizenship" is the latino word for "pressure group." Citizenship and welfare benefits are a small part of amnesty---get ready for zillions in foreign aid and other federal handouts.
LYING IN WAIT FOR OUR TAX DOLLARS--- THESE IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE ORGANIZED PRESSURE GROUPS INSIDE THE US (here illegally): Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico (stateside)l Salvador, Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela.
==============================================
AS ONE EXAMPLE: Dominican Republic travel brochures reveal the Third World hellhole provides no safety nets for its impoverished populations. The DR depends on the billion dollars per year their illegal population collect in the US and send back home.
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC STRANGLEHOLD ON US POLITICS--- It is an unconscionable travesty against representative democracy---to have the corrupt Dominican Republic meddling in our affairs---cooking the books to help Sen Booby Menendez (D-NJ) stay in power. Menendez is on-record using US govt authority to grease the skids for a billion dollar Dominican port- deal (that can facilitate drug cargo into the US).
Menendez was accused of stiffing (excuse it) underage Dominican prostitutes---and also hired an illegal latino who was a registered sex offender to work in his DC office.
HOW DO YOU SAY QUID PRO QUO IN SPANISH? Clearly, a deal was made. IF (BIG IF) the Dominican Republic saves Menendez's degenerate a** (and prevents the dreaded Christie appointment), Obama will write the foreign aid check w/ plenty of zeros.
BOTTOM LINE Menendez has TWO governments protecting him---- Americans have not even one government looking after our interests.
