looking for. john boehner would put that clean bill on the floor of the house, full year of funding for dhs, no strings attached. is there an expectation that that is what boehner will do? there is an expectation. that s the betting on capitol hill. bane hearoehner has no other choice. he does not want to go to a shutdown. there s no good outcome for a shutdown politically or practically. the only other option is to put that clean bill on the floor. if he were to do another short-term extension, chances are you would see similar democratic rebellion. you have the 52 house republicans who probably wouldn t go along with the speaker. maybe he has to put the clean bill on the floor. but the question is who will be the republicans who will walk the plank and join democrats to support it and what will be the impact on his speakership which is tenuous right now. how is this the story with boehner for the last few years
he s going to give in and give them the vote that they want on full funding. no strings attached. boehner s office denying that there is any such arrangement. is there a deal? if there isn t what are democrats going to do if there is, if boehner told democrats he s already decided to cave what are boehner s fellow republicans going to do it? joining me from capitol hill a republican congressman from new jersey. democrats are saying they believe john boehner will put the clean funding bill on the floor next week. do you think that s what s going to happen here? i don t know steve. and let me say that i m sure that there has been no deal struck. i m certainly pleased that we have funding for the department of homeland security. and i will support funding for the department of homeland security. what do you think the end game is on this? it s a one week extension. how do you get from where we are
you vote now now, if you with hold your votes now, i m confident john boehner will have no choice to put on the floor full year of funding, no strings attaches. that didn t happen. i think the question is whether he can continue as speaker if he breaks the hastert rule. it has to be a majority of republicans. i think that congress would be ruled by majority rule. is that a simple enough caidea? do you think the right goes for that? no, i think boehner is in trouble. i think there will be a big fight if he does this. he s turning control over the democrats and they lost. they lost the election in 2014. he lets the democrats rule the congress. how can they do that? and you know i say this before and it offends everybody because nobody wants to deal. i think republicans like corker that went along with the deal the other year they believe in
