Alec Torres at National Review Online reports :
Senator Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) told CBS’s Bob Schieffer this
morning that the Ryan-Murray Budget deal that passed the House earlier this
week still doesn’t have enough votes to pass the Senate.
“The struggle is still on in the United States Senate,” Durbin
said. “We need bipartisan support to pass it.”
He said the Senate needs only a “handful” of Republicans to pass
the bill, but that Republicans are wary of signing the deal because they are
either planning to run for president and don’t want such a “yes” vote on their
record, or they are being threatened by the Tea Party and the Heritage
Foundations to vote against it.
