He has become a creature of a small minority in his caucus who make demands that, that they themselves will never vote for. But he capitulates those demands. And I don't think he understands, particularly in our work, I don't think he understands Appropriations. I don't think he understands the budget that we deal with. And I think he is a very, very leader and that's unfortunate. We can have, you know, you can work with an administration, but you do not have to be captive and you do not have to be subservient to that, to that administration. (10:13–10:20)
