I sure wont bet on it right now, I am only going by the stuff I read here giving it the ‘Does it make sense?’ test. I have no special info on that.
The House eventually caving and passing whatever Reid sent him in a CR was something I knew for sure would happen, I posted it many times here in comments. It was sure thing,.
The problem Obama has is that Cantor/Bohner/Ryan have zero incentive to try to pass a bill that Reid can get Dems to vote for in Senate, even after a conference. Every GOP in house is mad now.
Even if they pass a immi bill that 95% of freepers curse, that doesnt mean that Senate Dems will vote for it.
This is Key : In this case Bohner doesnt get singularly blamed by Americans for blowing up the US economy and defaulting on US debt if Obama never gets a immi bill.
I do. It is a fact.

The prize for the GOP is an increase in the guest worker programs. It is the reason Zuckerberg met on the Hill with Boehner, Cantor, and others a few weeks ago. There is a lot of pressure coming from the corporations who sent a letter to the GOP demanding an immigration reform bill.
Don't be fooled by the rhetoric. These guys know how to do the Kabuki dance and feign outrage while actually working with the other side on how best to fool the electorate. One of the reasons both parties hate Cruz and Lee is that they exposed these little games of phony votes to fool and deceive.

They will vote for any bill that comes out of conference. It is a given.

LOL. Boehner could care less. He probably won't even run next year.
