"The White House, they had been so confident they were going to sign immigration reform this year, for the first time I'm hearing that there is some doubt seeping in, that they think maybe the House won't act. What they need is, they need something to sort of force Boehner like at the last minute bring it to the floor the same way the fiscal cliff deal happened. The problem is there is no trigger at the end of the year, there isn't the end of this Congress there isn't this. So I don't know how this happens at the end of this year and suddenly now the White House doesn't see a path," said Todd.
"Fires all around them, no real second-term agenda when they have to deal with all these problems," host David Gregory added.
"Immigration was going to be the one thing they could have pointed to," said Andrea Mitchell, weighing in. "And I think that conversation with John Boehner and the president, the president doesn't have a whole well of trust in Boehner saying, you know, hang with me, I can get this done by the end of the summer. Boehner still doesn't have the support and you heard what Congressman Labrador has been saying, they don't have a Marco Rubio on the House side who can try to work around this and bring it together."
Todd interjected, "It was supposed to be Paul Ryan--"
"He's gone silent," Mitchell added.
“He’s gone silent,” Mitchell added.
Good.
BTW, I thought all Bills were supposed to start in the House, not the Senate.
Maybe Ryan got the word before he jumped off the cliff, but I will still hesitate to trust him again.
Idiot RINO senators should have known they were playing into the Kenyan’s hand to make a partisan issue for the house in 2014. JACKASSES!
“BTW, I thought all Bills were supposed to start in the House, not the Senate.”
Just tax bills (bills designed to raise revenue).
Don’t let up, people.
The bad thing, he shouldn’t have had to wait until he got the word, because he and whole lot of them have already gotten the word from voters, to oppose this mess. We keep having to do this every few years, they keep returning to it. We have to keep fighting them to oppose this amnesty mess. Too bad they’re not this stubborn and persistent on matters we care about.
This proposed absurd immigration legislation did exactly what Schumer intended. At least three prominent Republicans shot themselves in the foot and will be forever politically crippled.
Exactly! At one time I thought Ryan was a hope for the future of the GOP, but now I've found that he's just a baby RINO.
The one good thing about this immigration fight is that we have seen the true colors of the large herd of RINOs in the GOP, particularly Rubio, WHO WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE!
If you don’t know right from wrong at his age there probably isn’t much hope.
Seven years of high school, and they write crap like THIS ?
He'd have to come out against it.
We think alike. Schummer was so quick to say that Rubio was a real team player in that gang of eight, before Rubio had said much. At that point, Rubio should've said Schummer doesn't speak for him and left the negotiating table. I thought the primary goal was to end Rubio's very promising political career, and it looks like a few others too. Actually getting the pro-invasion bill to pass would've been icing on the cake.
After what happened to Rubio, you'd think Flake and Ryan would've been smarter. Rand Paul was....he found a way out of supporting "reform" and took it.
He should stay silent. In fact if he truly loved his country he would announce his retirement and endorse a true conservative to take his seat.
All appropriations bills start in the House. House controls the purse.
It was NEVER intended to pass. It was fully intended to embarrassed the republicans.
