Nice poison pill by Paul Ryan. Mad props. They will say, "Dems won't fund the MILITARY and SICK CHILDREN!".

Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker said he believes the defense/CR combo is still what the GOP conference wants to pursue but said there’s a lot of uncertainty regarding attachments and how the Senate would react to the package.

“As productive as the other two meetings were, this was just blah,” the North Carolina Republican said, referring to previous GOP conference meetings where they discussed the spending plan. Wednesday’s meeting provided “a lot more questions than answers,” he said.

Rep. Charlie Dent, an appropriator and co-chair of the moderate Tuesday Group, said it’s unclear what the Senate will do but they definitely won’t “eat” whatever the House sends them.

“We know they’re going to send something back, whatever that is,” the Pennsylvania Republican said. “Leadership just wants some flexibility to deal with these tactical matters.”

Possibility...not a guarantee.

Luckily, this bill will likely go down, not because it doesn't have DACA but Democrats want a spending increase for non-military programs as well.
