And i think it may be more than 60 votes. that will put a lot of pressure on the house, put a lot of pressure on the president if the president is still not participating. >> in terms of timing, we keep hearing they want to have it wrapped up by march 5. despite todays continuing resolution deal is the word if you support this things for three weeks, we might have a daca solution by then. thats not really date that anybody is talking about. sounds like the original deadline still stands. shepard...

Graham called tuesday trump. >> and then thursday trump after talking the hardliners in a famously vulgar exchange, trashed the whole thing and created the crisis that led to this weekend shutdown. if he he can just let the soe-- senate be the senate, let us work together for two weeks and find a solution, i think on the end he might be on the path to sign into law something that gets the border security investment that he wants and he ran on, and a solution to the daca problem that he said he a...
