There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far.

Often times, political games prevent senators from even beginning to debate some of the most important issues.

Most senators are just going to work and trying to do a job.

It shouldn't take a constitutional crisis or an attack on the nation to create honest dialogue in the Senate.

I didn't get to the Senate by accident.

I have never left another senator out to dry. Never.

Any time the president talks, you listen.

My job in the Senate is not just to give speeches and do interviews, it's to solve problems.

It's a cliche that the Senate is broken, and like most cliches, it's true.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.
