Barbara Boxer: “I have no intention of putting a pothole under the Federal Government's jurisdiction.”

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

It is absolutely false to say that FEMA is getting in the way.

Frankly, anyone who runs on that as an issue should be defeated, overwhelmingly by everybody.

The way the Senate works, as you know, it`s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.
