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.

I imagine it involves giving in on immigration . . . AGAIN.
DAMN!
yep as usual.
polls show DACA supporters and amnesty is NOT winning on this shutdown. but DUMLICANS will give in. AS USUAL.
Double damn.
Screw Corker.
Has anyone believable said anything though?
Rather than the lame duck architect of the Iran deal.
Corker leads the GOP circular firing squad...again...sigh
+1
Screw corker!! We are shut down no damned amnesty!! We dont want non essential government!!!!! Shut it down for months!!
One Word: Kabuki Theater
I bet it is something that will force Trump to be the bad guy that shuts down government.
These repukes are worthless POSs. Good God Man, stand up and fight.
The House has gone home.
They turned down the House bill.
A new Senate bill has to be taken up by the House.
I fear GOPers going wobbly.
.
especially on THIS issue.
The dems look bad shutting down government for illegals.
Yet the repukes will bow. Wanna know why we can’t get out the voter for these special elections? Our own so-called party is suppressing our enthusiasm and therefore our vote. And sadly, it’s on purpose.
If the Turtle sells us out, it'll be par for the course; however, it WILL be what kills the president, which is probably what the goal was anyway.
10 min. to go.
A few more senators have come to the floor. Expecting something to happen.... will there be a new vote? Or a bunch of statements after midnight? Senators ranting and raving....
