sit back, reset and start to figure out the actual pathway forward. what we're going to see is house republicans may take up a bill to acquiesce to the $5 billion for a border wall effort. the they pass that, they know it's dead in the senate and put it aside and real discussions can start. where to end up? here's the big problem right now. both sides, the president with his base, democrats with their base, feel comfortable in their positions where they are right now. that would seem to say that the shutdown is very possible. that said, brbrianna, you've covered this institution long enough to know the off ramps that exist, the ability to punt this for a short-term amount of time is always on the table and always play. will they get to that point? people who are in the negotiations right now say they believe it's possible. they're not there right now but keep an eye out as you well know, ten days when it comes to spending negotiations, that is a very, very long time. a lot of things can happen during that period. so as bad as things looked, it could be darkest before the dawn moment or to quote john mccain,
