All cowards. All of them, now they say,' Well, this will get done. Maybe after we get back from our summer recess, maybe during the lame duck' — because they're on Senate time.

They live forever and they never lose their jobs and they never lose their benefits and they never lose all those things. Well, they're not on Senate time. They're on human time. Cancer time.
The only opportunity for an orderly transition is the summer recess.
