Won't happen. The die-hard Republicans won't ever let go of their ability to kneecap a Democrat government when they feel like it.

There are Democrats on board, the bill can pass without them.

Also AFAICT the bill still has a kneecap strategy. If a funding deadline is missed, Congress must focus solely on spending bills. IOW it shuts down Congress, not the entire government. Sounds right to me.
