Roll Call’s Williams: Upwards of a Third of the House GOP Conference Could Be Against Spending Deal

RUSH EXCERPT:

SMITH: We heard from the president, I’m okay with a shut down. Now they have this deal, a bipartisan deal. Nancy Pelosi is like no way. That means Nancy Pelosi gets blamed for the shut down. That’s not a great place to be."
WILLIAMS: "A lot of only — optimism on this deal. Conservatives backlash against it —
SMITH: "I want to get to Nancy Pelosi. She said I promised any constituents, we’ll come up with a way for the dreamers. This is about the end of our juice. This is about the end of our leverage. We got to get this for the dreamers. So all of a sudden they bring in the military. They didn’t just bring in the military, they brought the top man to the White House to speak from the podium there. You never see that. Presidents go to the Pentagon. Secretaries of defense rarely come to the White House. The pressure is heavy, isn’t it?
SMITH: " It is. You seen the same pressure on Democrats on the past crs. They said they were blocking funding for the military. So remains to be seen how many Democrats go with Nancy Pelosi and vote against this as you have said. Speaker Paul Ryan has made clear what his plans are for the DACA debate. There’s not a lot of optimism those plans were change. So it’s Nancy Pelosi versus her caucus to see if they join the Republicans and pass this.
