Trump has this, the man is a hundred chess moves ahead of them.

He is licking his chops over the leverage he will gain during a shut-down.

[nopardons]

Nope...he’ll sign it and then the Dems will take the House.

[Billyv]

It’s never wrong to do the right thing. Shut it down before letting the DNC and GOPe tread on Americans one day longer. MAGA!

[Revel]

Not only that, but if they play fast and loose with the details then Trump does not have to sign it.

[Sequoyah101]

It doesn’t matter if Trump won’t sign and I hope he never gives in.

[Lurkinanloomin]

If it has Corker and Co. behind it, it won’t pass the House.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I thought we sent these morons to Washington to legislate, not make “deals”. Deals are something used car salesmen make.

[faithhopecharity]

so, Sen. Corker, who cares?

be sure you do NOT give away anything important for this bill.

[Seaplaner]

It’s never wrong to do the right thing.

Say it loud!

What a joke.

[edie1960]

If Corker’s involved, it must be a bad deal including amnesty.

[IndispensableDestiny]

The House has gone home. They turned down the House bill. A new Senate bill has to be taken up by the House.

They did not vote on the House bill. They voted on cloture to limit debate and bring the bill to a vote. By Senate rules, that requires 60 votes. A vote on the bill itself requires 50.

ding dong time is up

[Rapscallion]

There will be no deal. Democrats want Congress shut down and Paralyzed to keep voters distracted from the FISA illegality out of the public eye.

When it is revealed what the FBI, the party, and the Obama administration have done, it will end the democrat party for a decade. There will be no democrat heroes.

[faithhopecharity]

dear Senator Corker, remember please what we elected you and the R majority for....(it isn’t to continue the SNAFU Democrat programs and policies and taxes)

[Sedona13]

Good. No deal. Going to bed now.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That House bill is all they have to work with tonight to avoid a shutdown.
The House went home.

[stylin19a]

bring which bill to a vote ?
the house bill ? if so, then what deal is Corker talking about ?
If not, then the House has to take up the changes.

what am I missing ?

[tflabo]

The Senate is the absolutely worst branch of the gubermint.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

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.
