I can't see the GOP taking a one year extension under any circumstances.
They are orders of magnitude more likely to demand two years.
(If McConnell rather than moron Trump were in charge of their strategy I think they would've already gleefully countered with two years)

On a purely political calculus test I can't imagine the GOP would even dream of taking this - it's death for them.
They'd prefer TWO years to ONE.
