John Thune on Midterm Election Results: It’s Important that We Take the Lessons from It

EXCERPT:

THUNE: “We, as you know, have had a lengthy conversation with our Republican conference on a whole range of issues and how we’re going to wrap up this legislative session, things we want to get done in the lame duck and then focus on next year. Obviously, the election result was not what we had hoped for, but I think it’s important that we take the lessons from that and internalize the message the American people were sending to us and focus on the things that really matter to them. And we intend to do that. Before we actually embark on the next year, though, we’ve got to finish up this year."
