The week McCarthy threw it all at the wall -- and nothing stuck

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : McCarthy's new plan -- a stopgap funding bill at the $1.47 trillion spending level with conservative immigration policies attached -- also raised spirits that a GOP-led proposal to avert a government shutdown could be nigh.
53% : But that never happened -- the careful constellation of priorities aimed at pleasing different corners of the House GOP still wasn't enough to get the support he needed to take action on the proposal.
49% : A key provision that negotiators hoped would bring conservatives on board would beef up border enforcement and change asylum and immigration laws.
