going to first of all my hat is off to her. i don t know if i could have handled that for eight hours. that was pretty darn impressive. you re right. she wasn t wearing these kinds of shoes. i would have gone in the bathroom well before then. i got to tell you. so, you know, impressive. first, we want a daca solution. guess what? in order to shift our focus and get on to the next big priority, which is a daca solution, we got to get this budget agreement done so we can go and focus on this. and i said it once and i ll say it again, we will bring a daca solution to the floor. as far as the senate is concerned, first, i think it is important to see what they if they can produce a bill and what they can produce. our system works different than their system. the leader would say the same thing. and so i can t speak to what our rule is going to look like. i can say that we re going to bring a daca solution to the floor. because we want to solve this
