Jim DeMint: “Well, do you think an outside agency or group is needed at this point to help establish work requirements?”

His proposal was so outlandish, I don't think we should go back to the table until he puts something there that we can work with.

Absolutely not. We cannot shut the government down, regardless of what happens here.

President Trump's comments is not a real issue here. President Obama tried for eight years, speaking in very conciliatory, soft tones and we see where that ended up.

Senator DeMint says let's use the Federal Government as an exemplar for how to reopen.
