“I guess part of my answer is if the Senator from South Dakota is willing to abide by the expertise and recommendations of this administration on all matters from here on, I would almost be persuaded to sit down and to pocket his votes on the tax cuts, education bill, all the defense matters that come before us, and everything else. The fact is, reasonable people can differ. The Senator from South Dakota can agree with the administration on some things and disagree with them on others, just as people on this side of the aisle can do. So it is no great argument to say if you belong to the party of the President, you have to walk in lockstep with the President or somehow there is a suggestion that your position is tainted.”
