I bet it could get done. As things stand now, the House GOP is going to craft an extremist budget that no Democrat would EVER accept and then blame the Democrats in the Senate for refusing to adopt it in toto. Not to mention the fact that if the Democrats DID produce a budget in the Senate, the Republicans there would just filibuster it. Is Johnson saying that he would allow for an up-or-down vote on a Democratic proposal?
