In Good News All Around my perennial TL in which the Democratic Party enjoys maximum plausible success, ( The next edition is due in November, when I increase Hillary's margin of victory.) I had Rick Santorium win the 2012 Republican nomination. I thought with the drop off in Republican votes, there would be a Democratic House and with that and six other PODs there would be a filibuster proof Democratic majority in the Senate. ITTL one of the laws that gets passed in the bipartisan immigration measure that Rubio supported. Once it gets passed Republicans start campaigning for its repeal. While I assume Rubio would have changed his mind about it, like he did OTL. Would his role in this unpopular law have hurt him? I am assuming that he would still have waited for Florida and dropped out after he lost Trump like he did OTL. Would have however enjoyed the limited success he did OTL?
