Congress is dysfunctional.

You can see how dysfunctional this Congress is.

Congress is more broken than ever. Congressman Will Hurd has quickly become part of the problem.

I don't think it's the function of Congress to function well. It should drag its heels on the way to decision.

I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.

The Senate as an institution is broken. We're not doing the work of the American people and the rules are being abused. The only way to get us back to the traditions where the Senate is doing the work of the American people is to change the rules.

Government is dysfunctional.

We may not imagine how our lives could be more frustrating and complex - but Congress can.

Congress is unable to do the work of the American people because too many politicians believe that compromise means capitulation.

This Congress is simply not doing its job under Republican leadership.
