发帖数: 61690 | 1 Republican Reps. Kristi Noem of South Dakota and Kevin Cramer of North
Dakota separately stood up at a GOP meeting Wednesday and confronted their
leadership about its bumbling legislative strategy and inability to figure
out a way forward on the massive legislation, according to multiple sources
at the meeting.
Noem, who once served in Republican leadership, took aim squarely at
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). She reminded him that he controls the
House floor, and she drilled Cantor hard on his precise plans to mop up the
mess, several Republicans who attended the meeting said. Cantor wasn’t able
to outline a plan that satisfied Noem, and he blamed Democrats for the bill
’s defeat.
Noem — usually a quiet figure in GOP circles — also warned the 61
Republicans who opposed the farm bill after voting for tougher work
requirements for food-stamp recipients that she will not be supporting them
in the future. Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and
other lawmakers were later heard on the floor backing Noem in her heated
dispute with Cantor.
Cramer, a first-term lawmaker, read aloud an editorial to his colleagues
from a North Dakota newspaper, arguing that failing to pass a farm bill
could end his brief congressional career. In an interview with POLITICO,
Cramer said Republicans — especially committee chairmen — who voted
against the farm bill are “jeopardizing the whole majority.”
It’s just another problem for House Republican leadership that’s had a
rocky time governing in its second straight term in the majority.
After Boehner barely survived his reelection as speaker in January, he and
his top lieutenants have worked to ease their relationship with rank-and-
file conservatives. Up until Thursday, they seemed to have made some
progress. But that all quickly crumbled when the farm bill went down.
Boehner and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy are trying in their own ways to
diffuse anger among the rank and file. Boehner told his members that he was
“pissed off” about the farm bill’s fate — he voted for it — and asked
for ideas on the road ahead.
McCarthy, speaking first at a small meeting of his vote-counting team and
later to the larger House Republican Conference, said he “[takes]
responsibility” for the farm bill’s failure.
The California Republican also made a round of calls to his top allies on
the whip team late last week following the bill’s demise, taking their
temperature about the legislative meltdown. In addition, McCarthy contacted
lawmakers who voted against the bill to express his disappointment,
according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The surprising farm bill defeat has given way to new frustration with
Republican leadership and skepticism about the prospect for legislative
successes this Congress. House members close to GOP leadership — including
those tasked with counting votes — are more skeptical than ever that their
party will be able to avoid a government shutdown and debt downgrade. Not to
mention the fact that Republicans will be under major pressure to act on
some kind of immigration reform package after the Senate passes its bill
this week. Cantor has also said he wants to reform the nation’s education
policy.

CIR 很容易得到众议院两党多数，但不一定能到共和党多数。不能投票表决就没什么戏。
Boehner 以前违反过这个规定，但今天刚刚表态说他不会在CIR上违例， 所以法案前途
相当玄了。
