Quigley on Dems and the Budget: ‘It’s All Hypothetical’ Until We See the Language

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: “Congressman Quigley, you know, you have worked across the aisle with Congressman Stauber and others, there is this exchange program. You went to each other’s districts, can you foresee Democrats getting around some aspects of this budget where they could vote for it?”
QUIGLEY: “It really depends on the language we actually finally see. At this point in time, it’s all hypothetical. Put in context though, I passed a bill with my Republican colleagues in the last session that had the most bipartisan co-sponsors, ALS, an extraordinarily important bill. So, there are ways to find common ground. When I first got there, I won a special election. The best advice I got was from a Republican friend of mine from Illinois who said just remember, the best that comes out of here is through compromise, so, compromise is trying to meet in the middle. It’s a lot harder if you start on one extreme or another. I think that’s what everyone has to keep in mind.”
