Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said leadership is on the verge of a deal to avert a government shutdown with less than an hour to go.
"We're down to a difference of literally three or four days," he said.
Both options being discussed, according to Corker, would keep the government funded past President Trump's State of the Union.
Corker said he expected the agreement could be reached before the midnight deadline to keep the government open.
The potential deal is a stark turnaround after Democrats emerged from a caucus meeting with a glum outlook about the chances of keeping the government open.

The current Senate is the most corrupt and treasonous institution in American history. One of the worst collection of grifters, scammers and embezzlers in the history of the world.

That’s a procedural thing, it allows him to withdraw the resolution, I believe.

Yes, I'm watching this now, too and it proves that Corker is just full of excrement.
Schmucky Chuckles Schumer is up now, lying through his teeth! Nothing new about that. And HE is gonna pay for the SCHUMER SHUJTDOWN!
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Does Schumer know how idiotic he sounds? He just gave Rush a nice juicy sound bite for Monday’s show.

The House bill was not voted on. They can still bring that bill up for a vote. The can make a deal on another cloture vote, which is what failed tonight.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Republicans will cave on everything in exchange for a vague promise on security.

Unless this deal involves a border wall being built and chain migration being ended along with the visa lottery system-I’m not interested.
