Tom Cole: ‘I’m Sort of Thrilled’ with Trump’s Deal with Dems

‘This is what I’ve been arguing for’

EXCERPT:

COLE: “Well I -- I’m sort of thrilled. I mean, this is what I’ve been arguing for. I think the president made the right decision. Look, I think getting the three months buys you the time to deal with the natural disasters that we have bearing down on us right now. I think it also gives you the time to negotiate a larger appropriations bill. Today we’ll pass for the first time since 2006, all 12 appropriations bills across the floor of the House setting us up in our bargaining position."
