The Daily Quote
“House Republicans chose [House Speaker] Paul D. Ryan [R-WI] to be speaker last October because they felt he could unify their fractured conference. As divisions over the budget have plagued the party for weeks, Ryan hasn't repaired the rift… At least four fifths of the roughly 40-member [House Freedom] caucus opposes the budget… Without their support, Ryan and his leadership team don't have the 218 votes needed to pass the budget resolution and begin the appropriations process.” - Roll Call, 3/21/2016
