Thom Tillis: “I'm trying to get to yes, but this is a very important part of getting to yes.”

I have 1,000% confidence in Thune, and anybody in the White House who thinks he's not a good leader isn't qualified for their job.

The key there is exactly what I’ve said. That this agreement, the 1776 fund, needs to go away, and the language with respect to audits needs to be very tightly tailored.

But now I’m convinced that the best way to do this is to end it by renegotiating the agreement and settling it for good.

I think if we could have just gotten some of the members to recognize some of their priorities are never going to happen ... we’d get a lot more done.
