The GOP seems to have thrown the baby out with the bath water. Conservatives vote against a GOP favored farm bill because they didn't get their way.

The "freedom caucus" (the conservatives in the GOP) want a vote on a strict immigration bill and Ryan won't give them a chance to vote on it, so they voted against a farm bill that Democrats also opposed. Must suck to be Paul Ryan.
