1 vote is definitely necessary but not sufficient. We can't minimize the amount of help we need from Republicans. If we adopt this view that, "oh well, Gutierrez is HOPEFUL that the Senate would bring DREAM back and that the vote on the defense bill is a great sign therefore we only need a few more Republicans" then we are missing the mark. Some Democrats will defect when DREAM comes up for a straight up vote, that much is clear. We need more than just some GOPers. We need a lot so let's not get complacent.
