Mitch McConnell is a professional arm twister. He's done this for many years. He has a lot of power in his caucus.
Claire McCaskill
I was really shocked after all of this talk about coal miners and all of this talk about Buy America, the Republicans and the House of Representatives gutted health care and pension protections for coal miners and removed the Buy America provision that had been put in the bill in a bipartisan basis.

I worry about the lack of experience that Rex Tillerson has had on the diplomatic front and, frankly, I think that's true for many of the appointments to [Donald] Trump's cabinet.
Claire McCaskill
For Donald Trump to dismiss out of hand the intelligence community's fact gathering is, frankly - doesn't bode well for him protecting our country.
Claire McCaskill
By the way, this should be not only about protecting us going forward but this is a form of warfare for Vladimir Putin, who is a thug and a bully and has the friends around the globe that we don't want to be friends with.
Claire McCaskill
I believe that sexual assault - if this is possible - was even more underreported when I was in school.
Claire McCaskill
Do I want Social Security to be there for my kids and my grandkids? Absolutely. Will I fight like a tiger to make sure that we protect Social Security? I absolutely will.
Claire McCaskill
For Vladimir Putin to be trying to impact our elections, that - we have to - there has to be - he has to be held accountable.
Claire McCaskill
