Theyve lost some of their own ranks because of it. pelosi is going to make them vote over it. that gets to your question, don, about what was being said in the oval office. i said to you overnight the president shouldnt have said what he said. those are terrible words to use. but if you really care about the immigrants youre trying to protect, why not blow that up and try and cut a deal? the president is trying to negotiate and get a deal. if youre going to put the children who are at risk in da...

Take the issue up under regular order. this is a more than reasonable proposal. im hopeful my democrat colleagues will find a way to reopen the government so we can find a solution on immigration, defense spending and many other important issues. i am convinced that to continue the government shutdown, after this proposal, does more harm than good to our effort to find common ground. senator jeff flake said he is lobbying democrats to join him. >> i will add my vote for this agreement as the maj...
