Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - It’s becoming clearer by the day that Democrats don’t want an outcome, they want a political issue.
They’ve refused to reopen the government – 12 times.
They’ve refused my offer to discuss Obamacare’s failures.
They’ve refused my offer to hold a vote on their own proposal to address a problem they created.
They’ve refused to pay the troops and federal employees who are working without a paycheck.
The only thing they’ve said yes to? The Schumer Shutdown and political “leverage.”

I’m not sure how much clearer I can be, but let me give it a try:
I am willing to sit down with Democrats to discuss the growing unaffordability and unsustainability of Obamacare.
It’s a system they created, but I’m happy to hear them out. Heck, I’m even willing to give them a vote.
Today. Tomorrow. Next week. You name it.
But there’s one condition: End the Schumer Shutdown.
I will not negotiate under hostage conditions, nor will I pay a ransom. Period.
