Key Q: How far will conservatives demand GOP leaders go in fighting Obama on deportation relief?http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/11/06/get-ready-for-a-titanic-battle-over-immigration/ …
@ThePlumLineGS It's not just hardliners. Establishment-oritented governing Republicans say it could blow things up.

@DavidMDrucker Maybe. I'd like to see how far GOP leaders are really willing to go -
@ThePlumLineGS You kindly plugged this for me in Sept. But just for your review: http://washex.am/1saLdgH -
@DavidMDrucker yep, I remember that, good piece. I genuinely am asking how far GOP leaders will really want to take this -
@ThePlumLineGS I think they hope Obama goes small so that it can be interpreted as legal and they fight it "reasonably." -
@DavidMDrucker Right. I could see 2-3 million. But doesn't Ted Cruz still go ballistic over that? -
@ThePlumLineGS I think anything over 1 million and ALL Rs could go ballistic. 1 mil or less, easier to work around. -
@DavidMDrucker Right. I know all Rs will go ballistic. The question is, will GOP leaders want to fight it with Ted Cruz intensity? -
@ThePlumLineGS …But, just a thot, in full control of Congress (sans 60 Sen votes) they have more ways to fight than before. Changes things. - 2 more replies

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS “I literally am pleading with the president of the United States not to act,” McCain said. “Give it a chance." -
@beckytallent@DavidMDrucker I know. The question is, will Boehner/McConnell fight this as hard as Ted Cruz wants them to? -
@ThePlumLineGS@beckytallent If Obama goes big, like 5 mil or in that ballpark, Rs believe it could cause a Constitutional crisis. -
@DavidMDrucker Note my procedural stuff in there about the Dem filibuster and Obama veto. It's going to be insane. -
@ThePlumLineGS Could be interesting to watch some ping-pong, pass-veto, pass-veto, depending on D filibusters, of course.

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS Maybe a good thing. NOTHING is going to happen anyways and it will cement Latino vote with Dems in 2016.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
