He kept the government running.  If the government isn't running, that (to
me) means the border is even less protected than it already is.  Is that
what we wanted?  I don't think so.

All the "RINO hunting" and other Republican infighting proves to
non-loyalists is that the Republicans are not capable of leading.  Do you
think maybe not much significant was done because of this?  I do.
