Dem VA Sens Warner/Kaine say they are yeas now. This vote is going to be right on the edge. Who will be 60? Will they get there?

Nothing has changed date changed from Jan 19 to Feb 8. Simple as that

it's a BS plan... if Ryan and the WH won't go along with it, a vote in the Senate is meaningless even if they pass it.

They are hoping mconnell keeps his word and put dreamact to vote.

Rep. John Yarmuth, a Democrat from Kentucky, said he’s heard that Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin has agreed to back a plan to extend a funding bill for three weeks.

“He's been driving the train on the Dreamer issue, the DACA issue,” Yarmuth said. “And I think if he said he was willing to trust Mitch McConnell for those 17 days, then I think a lot of the members of the Democratic caucus would go along with him.”

Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, have been working on a bipartisan proposal for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The largest point of contention between political parties that led to the government shutdown on Friday night was immigration policy -- including the funding for a proposed border wall and the future of DACA, which has protected undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children from deportation.

Lool.

Sure, Jan.

How can they believe this?

I can’t blame the democrats for folding, but trusting McConnell is not a good idea. He won’t follow through.
