what happened in the last 13 1/2 hours, and even yesterday afternoon, when chuck schumer went to the cheeseburger lunch at the white house, coming out thinking he had at least the mechanics of a deal with the president, how long do you think this potentially can go on, seema? >> i would hope for the country's sake it doesn't go on for that long because the last time we had one of these it lasted two weeks and cost the taxpayers $22 billion. if it starts stretching to two weeks, i do think lawmakers will face more pressure, as it costs americans money, to get it done. >> sarah, do you think there's any chance there will be a short term cr that will, you know, amply precede the march 5th date for daca to be decided, legally speaking? >> i think the likelihood right now is that we will see some sort of short term cr. we've heard talk about one that lasts from a few days to four weeks, like something that passed the house.
