Donald Trump can’t even negotiate a budget bill with Democrats. This great negotiator.

Rather throw a tantrum than do his job.

Is running away from the negotiating table before he even gets there

When you’re finished ranting.

When you’re finished ranting, we can sit down and discuss health care.

The situation is a lot different now than it was then.

The bottom line is we must get a better bill than what they had the last time.

We are hoping that [Trump] will negotiate with us, and so far he hasn’t.

Look, we hope it doesn’t come to that.

Donald Trump says he doesn’t want to talk. He’s still in the go-to-hell mode. His marching orders to Republicans are don’t even bother with Democrats.

Donald Trump would rather shut down the government than even talk to Democrats about lowering the cost of health care for Americans.

I would just make one point to my good friend from Wyoming. When we were in the majority for 4 years, there was not a shutdown--not one. Why? Because we did what you are supposed to do: talk in a bipartisan negotiation and each side has…

The American people will look at what Republicans are doing, look at what Democrats are doing, and it will be clear that public sentiment will be on our side.

The theater must end. Let’s sit down and negotiate.

Now that it's clear that neither bill will get the 60 votes that the Senate needs, it's time to negotiate.

When we were in the majority for four years, there was not a shutdown. Not one. Why? Because we did what you're supposed to do: talk in a bipartisan negotiation and each side has input.

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are steering our country straight toward a shutdown.

The House Republicans-only spending bill fails to meet the needs of the American people and does nothing to stop the looming healthcare crisis.

We'll sit down and negotiate, if they will sit down and negotiate. We don't have a red line.

Today is a blessed day, a blessed day. We gather to celebrate our friend an amazing man, a great servant of God, Dr. Calvin Butts III.

What Republicans have done is chip away at the Senate even more, to give Donald Trump more power and to rubber-stamp whomever he wants, whenever he wants them, no questions asked.

This is a sad, regrettable day for the Senate.

On this issue, we’re totally united. The Republicans have to come to meet with us in a true bipartisan negotiation to satisfy the American people’s needs on healthcare, or they won’t get our votes, plain and simple.

And if Republicans go nuclear, the historically bad nominees we've seen so far under Donald Trump will get only worse.

If you go nuclear, it's going to be a decision you will come to regret.
