Dusty Johnson: “It’s not a good time to be connected to Washington, D.C.”

Well, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. I've certainly rolled out a number of plans that would have some pretty substantial reforms to our entitlement programs.

I don't really know yet, but I do know that I'm surely not ready to retire. I'm 50, but I feel like a real young 50, and I'm still filled with plenty of piss and vinegar. Let's go get it done.

The other thing we have to acknowledge is one party's not going to get this done. And I know that's hard for Republicans to hear because so many Republican office holders have sold the American people a bill of goods that this can be done…

I want to lead a life of consequence. I want to have an impact.
