Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I have had the privilege of serving with both speakers I have heard today, Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana. They represent the best of the Senate. All of us are proud to be here. All of us are proud of the opportunity to serve. But they are two special people. They are special because they have a smile on their faces. They are special because they are very smart. They are special because they know how to play the game in a bipartisan way--not block things but help them pass. I have enjoyed getting to meet Joe. I have enjoyed getting to know Heidi. I am going to miss them a lot. America is very proud to have a great son like Joe and a great daughter like Heidi. I am very lucky to have had the chance to have them cross my way so I can become a friend of theirs. God bless both of you. Thank you for your service. Thank you very much. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Indiana.”
