But above all, in the bill we have to
make sure there are no poison pill riders. That has been a watchword of
our negotiations in the past and is what led to success, and I hope
both sides of the aisle will pursue that now. We Democrats remain committed to fighting President Trump's cutback
on women's health, a rollback of financial protections in Wall Street
reform, rollbacks of protections for clean air and clean water, and
against a deportation force. Those are the kinds of poison pill riders
that could hurt an agreement, and I hope we will just decide at the
given time that we can debate them in regular order, but they shouldn't
hold the government hostage and pass them without debate.
