70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., chairman of the newly formed Republican Main Street Caucus, said its roughly 70 members are working on a letter to be sent to their conference leadership “to show their strong support for solving the DACA issue and that we believe the House should address it now, rather than later.”

House Democrats have said they won’t support a critical spending bill this month needed to keep the government open unless the DACA issue is resolved.

whats with the question mark, so its not sure?

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

I didn’t realize the number was going to be that high!

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

Nice! We easily get to 218 if these 70 House Republicans are willing to join the House Dems.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

God damn, 70 house republicans? I know some of that support might be conditional but damn.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

I read something earlier saying that if the number was in the 30s it would put pressure on Ryan. 70 is way over that so damn.

Why didn't they sign onto the discharge petition?

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

Maybe they want to negotiate the bill, add some border security before?

It's good news nonetheless.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

Probably they want action from the speaker before they move to force his hand. A republican signed onto the petition two days ago so they might trickle in.

Another thing to consider that it might be easier to pass it as an amendment to the spending bill than as a standalone measure.

Third possibility is that they are waiting for the senate to pass a bill down to the house with Dream Act as a rider.

So DA can easily pass the house with those reps and dems ?

70 + ~180 = ~250 ?

In amendment form they can always cover themselves, if need be, by saying they had no choice but to vote for the amendment in order to get a bigger bill passed.

It would make leadership look week. In addition, the Speaker could demote some from their Charimanships or other leadership positions.
Not possible, Ryan has invoked the Hastert rule on 'controversial' legislation.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

Yes, the number has always been 240 between lawmakers. The problem is D-blocking with some Chairmans and Speakers.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

DogJuiceMan I feel you man, this shit got me messed up too, for better or worse it’ll be over soon.

Re: 70 House Republicans to write a letter urging Ryan to pass Daca?
 

lmfao it would pass the house by more than a simple majority.

Thank goodness these Republicans are willing to step up and work with Democrats. Finally. I hope nothing changes in terms of the momentum.
