In the wind since september even while this massive tax cut was being passed. if you're able to lock that in, give up three weeks of continuing the government and knowing you'll have another bite of the apple on the dreamers, that does not seem to me i think there are going to be democrats that think it's a reasonable deal. there are plenty of hard liners inside who want to kind of have a line in the sand drawn. even if you believe that, this may not be the deal on which. >> you are shaking your head yes. do you agree? >> the democrats score a victory in addition flake and graham. >> how do yo...

View of the leadership. the question that i also ask cornyn was whether or not he believes they would get 60 votes to overcome a filibuster preventing a three-week continuing resolution to keep the government open until february 8th, whether they get 60 votes. he didn't know yet because of a lot has to do with whether or not democrats are on board with this emerging deal that maybe taking shape. we don't know if there's a deal yet. we know there had been one for hours as mcconnell and chuck schumer, the democratic leader, have been talking behind the scenes. they had a meeting earlier this eve...
