Johnson came in on the Tea Party vote. I don't think he's on board.

Here's what he says:

GRETA: "Have you decided how to vote come this Friday it's going to be now?"

JOHNSON: "Well, Greta, I have to see exactly what's presented to us. I mean from my standpoint if we're voting to proceed to a vote on a bill that actually defunds Obamacare it's kind of hard not to proceed to that final passage. I mean that's --- eventually if you're going to defund Obamacare, you're going to have to pass a bill. Because Obamacare is permanent law, it's part of that mandatory spending, you have to pass a bill through the senate and have the President sign it into law. So at some point in time we're going to have to, I guess, take that risk that we've actually go the support of the American people to put enough pressure on Democrate Senators -- I mean, they're the holdouts--I every Republican Senator will vote to defund Obamacare . . .

GRETA: And when you vote on this cloture vote you don't know what the bill is ultimately going to be, right?

JOHNSON: We're probably pretty sure . . .

GRETA: Not a 100 percent sure . . .

JOHNSON: The bottom line is that the majority leader will always have that power, post-cloture, to amend the bill

And that's the point of the this whole exercise.

To enable the republicans in both houses to slip in their plan b.

Which was the plan all along.

And it doesn't include ever really doing anything at all to get rid of obamacare.
