Jim DeMint: “We don't need the Federal Government now to deal with secondary roads and bridges.”

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

We've got to determine what we're going to do about it. A missile defense is going to be a key.

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.

We cannot keep our country shut down. It's affecting people emotionally, as well as financially.
