The Republicans are coming -- make nice.

I wouldn't take him lightly at all, ... Without him, the Republicans have no one. With him, they have someone who has a record of achievement.

a lot of these Republicans have never been in the minority and a lot of them have come up through the House and not started as senators, so they don't give it quite the same respect that has been there in the past.

I want to see Republicans and sometimes Democrats stop using the immigrant community as a punching bag. It's a just a mean-spirited bill that does nothing to further the public's understanding, or legitimate discussion of these concerns.

There's always twenty or thirty Republicans or twenty or thirty Democrats that sort of move away from the party line, so you've got to make sure that they are all happy. It's gonna be real tough, it's gonna be real tough.

In action be primitive; in foresight, a strategist.
