John Thune: “We’ve had the vote on the full version twice now so the full version is five components.”

Well, that's nice of him. I guess. I don't know, what do you say on that? That's a decision that's made by my colleagues.

I’m a realist. But I feel good about where things stand.

And I think at some point it becomes a decision of what can you get the votes to do.

The election ought to be painting a contrast between us and the Democrats and not creating conflicts with fellow Republicans.
