Seems possible House GOP might get taken to the immigration woodshed, just in time for them to go back and face the constituents.

He will formally dub it ‘The Goofy GOP Congress.’
- Shutting down the government unless they got their way.
- Leaving the country in ruins unless they get their way
- Leaving town without solving any immigration problems unless they get their way.
- Suing the president cause they didn’t get their way.
