“It is a politicized issue. It’s very hard to find common ground with Republicans because the party has become essentially the Republican party of one person.”
People are finding it more difficult just get by. And all Republicans have -- all they want to do is play these political games instead of stepping up to the plate to do something to help out people.
It is a politicized issue. The Republican party has become essentially the Republican party of one person and I don’t want to find myself in a place where I am validating bad behavior.
