CPAC Attendees: Rubio Killed His 2016 Dreams With Immigration

National Harbor, Md. — There's been a flood of stories about the resurgence of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) within the Republican Party, but you wouldn't know it by looking around the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference.

It's not hard to find supporters of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) or Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) at the conference. Virtually every other person in a crowd is wearing either a "Stand With Rand" sticker or a "Cruz Crew" sticker.

By contrast it's near impossible to find someone flaunting their support of Rubio. This, despite a wave of stories foretelling the return of Rubio as the de facto leader of the GOP and will soon be considered a top-tier candidate for 2016 presidential candidate.

"I do feel like his presence is not the same as Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or anything like that," Eric Daily, a Rand Paul supporter, told TPM.
