His first priority is to get the base behind him, even if that produces a nominee that is really fought over in the Senate and possibly defeated.

There was just no loser tonight. It was so well fought, end to end. They'd come from behind, we'd come from behind. I don't know ... I'm speechless.

To be behind to Nederland 10-0 and comeback was a great accomplishment. We fought back and toppled adversity and thought we did a decent job tonight.

I think we are going to see the kind of nominee we should have gotten in the first place: someone with a strong track record of conservative judicial philosophy. I'd be shocked if it's not.

My first priority now is to correct the inadequacies that were going on.

All Jay and I did was build a base and establish the importance. Tiger took it from there.
