Quite possible. this will take a few days to unwind.

The senators who voted for the deal are a surprise. They took a deal that was offered a month ago and put the US through this wholly unnecessary trauma for no good end.

Well they did get a promise for a vote on healthcare which wasn’t offered last time.

It was offered a month ago.

Isn’t that always the case though? Quite literally all of the shutdown battles have been won by the side seeking the clean CR. Until this year that was always the Dems. This year it was the GOP. Maybe they’ll internalize it now.
