Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) on Thursday expressed concern that some members of the GOP are "marginalizing the Republican party." McCain said that if Republicans want to defeat Hillary Clinton in 2016, they'll have to pass immigration reform.

Hillary Clinton is the "the odds-on favorite right now," McCain said at the "Politics on Tap" event, hosted by CNN and National Journal. "But I think we have a long list of people who could defeat Hillary Clinton."
