.@SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell: "2017 was the best year for conservatives in the 30 years that I've been here. The best year on all fronts." (Fox)
.@SenateMajLdr: "A lot of people are shocked because we didn't know what we were getting with Donald Trump ... this has turned out to be a very solid, conservative, right of center, pro-business administration."
.@SenateMajLdr on DACA: "If the agreement doesn't come together and be a part of the other negotiation we’ve had going on, over how much we are going to spend this year and next year ... if the president and Democrats reach an agreement, it can go into that... "
.@SenateMajLdr: "... Or if it doesn't, as long as the government is still open -- no more shutdowns, that didn’t work for them last week -- I will bring the subject up on the floor and treat both sides in a fair way, and we will have a debate and see who can get to 60 votes."
.@SenateMajLdr on spending talks: "We are still trying to figure out a way to fund the government in a more comprehensive way than passing continuing resolutions, and I hope in the next week or two we will do that. I don’t think there will be any more government shutdowns."
.@SenateMajLdr on midterms: "We do have a pretty good map, 25 Democrats are up in ’18, and only 10 Republicans. Of course, the Democrats had a good map last year, and we’re optimistic we can keep the majority."
.@SenateMajLdr: "Keeping the majority lies in places like AZ and NV and MO and ND and IN and WV, and we hope to be competitive in FL as well. All of those will be battleground states. If we hold AZ and NV and pick some of these others, we’ll have a majority for two more years."
.@SenateMajLdr: "We’ll have a candidate [in North Dakota]. That’s a very winnable race."
