Jim DeMint: “America has got to be more forceful to work out a lot of these things that we're talking about today.”

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.

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.

To paraphrase Ambassador Ryan Crocker, we need to be in the business of risk management, not risk avoidance.
