@ByronYork But the ripple influence of that bloc is felt across the conference, especially by the leadership

@robertcostaNRO Mostly because of narrowness of 232-seat majority. Lose 16 votes and you're dead, if Democrats are united in opposition. -

@robertcostaNRO If Boehner sided with 190 against the 40, what would that do to his standing in conference? (Not talking about Pete King). -
Guess: not much
@ByronYork:@robertcostaNRO If Boehner sided with 190 against the 40, what would that do to his standing in conference? -
@JohnJHarwood@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO Boehner wouldn't be able to stand with 190 vs 40. His sudden big balls wouldn't allow it

@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO I get the impression both of you guys are openly rooting against the conservative#GOP in the house. Am I wrong? -
@rjanderson123 Not siding against conservatives. Just fascinated that with 232 in conference, 30-40 are driving the car... -
@ByronYork yes, but only 1 progressive liberal has the house and Senate Dems voting in lockstep. - 1 more reply

@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO how man D's would vote for the clean CR? -
@politicalglutto@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO so a clean CR would end the shutdown right away? Must be a big "if" for Boehner to bring one -
@TheChop@byronyork@robertcostanro it would but Boehner would prob lose Speakership. Not willing to make that personal sacrifice.

@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO That means the clean CR would pass the House by a wide margin. Boehner should end the comedy ASAP.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
