John Thune: “What I'm willing to do is give the president some latitude to try and accomplish the objective he seeks to get done…”

I’m hoping the White House will become engaged. Texas is an incredibly expensive state and obviously one that we need, that we’ve got to hold if we’re going to keep the United States Senate.

We have to win this race…we're going to need all the hands on deck.

It seems to me sometimes I’m the only one who can count to 50 in this town.

We’ve got to get a bill, if we want to pass a farm bill, that’s something that can pass the House and be signed into law by the president.
