Further, if present and voting, the Senator from Tennessee (Mr. Alexander) would have voted ``yea'' and the Senator from Florida (Mr. Rubio) would have voted ``yea.''

I know that where the math is on this issue in the Senate, and it’s just not happening.
When they’re willing to produce the votes to open up the government, we’re going to talk.
I think the quickest way to end it is to just open everything up, and then everybody gets paid, and you’re not picking winners and losers or having to explain to this group why you open it up for this group.
