Which Senate republicans do you think Harry Reid is trying to work with at this moment?

Any? I sense some deal might be hammered out....maybe through concessions. The Senate is in Session....on a Sunday. Maybe just the nuclear response too?

What do you think is going on?

I also don't understand why the House republicans would yield to any deal made by the Senate republicans. Unless they are considered "bosses" because the Senate is considered a more executive position or something.

Did they announce that they would? Maybe it's a a fake-out yield.

so maybe the deal is being brokered right now. I heard that they detest one another to the bone... Like the Hatfield and McCoys.
