(HOT AIR) Joel Gehrke has two sources who swear that Mike Lee and David Vitter were the only people in the room pressing for a discussion at this week’s lunch.
(Not Cruz? Not Jeff Sessions?) That’s catnip to grassroots righties who are convinced, not without reason, that Boehner and McConnell would rather cave on executive amnesty than risk alienating Latinos by going to war with Obama over it.
Question, though: What leverage do Senate Republicans really have right now? What were we hoping would come out of this meeting?
