How Republicans got from 'DEAD ON ARRIVAL' to 'yes' on the Trump budget blueprint

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

78% : "I want to compliment our president, President Trump, who is always engaged with us.
70% : Johnson said he gave Trump an update on the situation, and that the president was "very closely monitoring all of this.
56% : Trump, though, was more focused on pressuring the House members -- tearing into the holdouts at a fundraiser dinner for the National Republican Congressional Committee on Tuesday night.
53% : "You just gotta get there," Trump, donned in a bow tie, said in a speech to the members.
50% : Frustrations in the fallout In sign of the tenuous nature of the reconciliation process to come -- and the House GOP conference at-large -- Johnson huddled with moderate lawmakers on the floor for a long time as the vote went on, reassuring the group that the conference would approach Medicaid in a "compassionate" way, a source told The Hill.
49% : 'He's just not going to change my mind about this' The fiscal hawks and hard-liners were pitching steps that would add days, if not weeks, of work before the House could rubber-stamp the resolution.
49% : He's just not going to change my mind about this.
46% : Johnson, with the help of Trump, had managed to win over more than a dozen conservatives who had spent a week railing against the legislation and insisting there was little that could change their minds.
44% : The legislation directed House committees to find at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, while Senate panels were directed to slash at least $4 billion in federal spending -- a fraction, in comparison.
44% : So they turned to a tactic that has helped sway holdouts on previous votes: a meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon with Trump.
31% : " Those who did attend that meeting said that Trump vowed to encourage the Senate to embrace steeper cuts, while lawmakers tossed around other ideas like an amendment to ensure the cuts would happen.
31% : Johnson said he had spoken to Trump while the meeting was underway, but the Speaker opted to talk to the president privately rather than on speakerphone because "there was just too many voices, too many people in the room."
