House rejects farm bill as conservatives revolt

After the failed vote, a frustrated Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) left the chamber warning that now more Republican members would sign a discharge petition intended to force votes on a series of immigration measures, including some likely to be backed by Democrats.

He said GOP leaders had sought to convince members to back the farm bill with this warning.

Discharge petition to force immigration votes in the House now up to 196 signers (still just 20 Republicans). Goal for proponents is 218:

Chief Deputy Whip @PatrickMcHenry says it is "probably hours" before more moderate Rs sign onto the immigration discharge petition - says "which is exactly what I feared if the farm bill went down"

@AlexNBCNews

Good shit.

Gop coming through for us

Oh my.
