Political Quotes

On the recordApril 4, 2017
Mr. President, if my colleague will yield, I would note that Senator Graham did have clarity in his purpose of identifying the fact that the State has only 4.7 million people in a country of 330 million people, and we have been able to secure the No. 1 golfer, that is true; the No. 1 baseball team, that is true; and the No. 1 football team in all of the Nation, Clemson University, that is true; and now the women's basketball champions, and that is true as well. However, I would point out that we were able to show you a wonderful experience as well in the State of South Carolina, and I hope that one day when you retire from politics, you and your lovely wife will join us and become a South Carolinian yourself. Perhaps then, and only then, will you be a successful football coach. You have a promising career in politics, but I know that you love and have passion for football, and perhaps when you retire, you too will be a national champion football coach.
