The United States is a country that people look to with envy because of our two-party system. It`s worked out well. I believe in the two-party system. The Republican Party, the Democratic Party is good for this country. Donald Trump has ruined the brand of the Republican Party. That`s why you have the Lincoln Project and many other Republicans who are outwardly saying, we can`t have Trump again, we got to get rid of him because he`s running the Republican Party. And that is true. I`m so -- I think that where we`ve seen in the Senate, my colleagues in the Senate, I think they`ve been very disappointing to me. They should not put up with what Trump has done. He`s done so much damage to the institution of the Senate and the country that Republicans, except for Mitt Romney, nobody will speak out against him.
