From @robertcostaNRO: If Boehner brought up clean CR in House, '30 to 40 conservatives would likely revolt…' There are 232 R's in House.
@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

@JohnJHarwood@ByronYork@robertcostaNRO Boehner wouldn't be able to stand with 190 vs 40. His sudden big balls wouldn't allow it
