Boehner can’t count — MSNBC

But this time around Boehner is all tell and no show. He says he doesn’t have the votes, but he’s not proving it by putting a bill on the floor.
And there’s a good reason: the math’s against him.
As many as 22 Republicans could support a “clean” funding resolution according to NBC News, which sifted through tweets, official statements, and news reports for the whip count.
“My very strong suspicion is there are enough votes there” to pass a clean funding bill, President Obama said on Monday. “Hold a vote. Call a vote right now. Let’s see what happens.”
The White House has said they believe 24 House Republicans will vote for the bill, too—a top administration official told NBC Boehner’s warnings are “not true.”
