    LATEST: House Democrats standing more firmly against the spending bill as another shutdown looms. ``Our members are overwhelmingly opposed to the budget deal,'' Rep. Butterfield tells one of my colleagues. He claims fewer than 40 House Dems will back it now.

        The extent to which Ryan seems willing to die on this hill over merely committing to a vote on DACA to shield Trump from potential embarrassment over having to own sign or veto is stupefying. Trump ain’t his employer.

        A parody Clickhole article literally predicted early last year that Ryan would completely cuckold himself to Trump in no time at all, and have recurring nightmares of being chased naked around the White House by Trump in a gold speedo. I'm pretty sure both have happened by now.

        So the Dems are the problem, but over 70 Republicans voting against it aren't? Geeze, this framing

        Ryan won’t be able to get it done with fewer than 70 Dems.
