Representative Marlin Stutzman (R., Ind.) accused House Republican leadership of reneging on a deal made with him to get his support on a crucial procedural vote that almost killed the $1.1 trillion cromnibus.

Stutzman was one of the last Republicans to cast his ballot in favor of a rule allowing the House to vote on the cromnibus. National Review Online reported that Stutzman backed the rule at the last minute after leadership told him that they would pull the cromnibus, once the rule was passed, and replace it with a short-term continuing resolution favored by rank-and-file conservatives.

This is one step removed from that - an oral promise to pull the bill; of course an oral agreement isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
You mean Bonehead lied? No way!!!!
Rand Paul just joined Christy on the list of “You’re Not Getting My Vote 2016”
