I'm afraid the senators will see that and think we're fighting and the Democrats are divided. And the Republicans are doing their best to make out like they're the sole supporters of my program. And we've had some very bad, injurious, hurtful reporting. They just couldn't believe that this is what's happening. They were very pleased.
