485
00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:01,379
 TACTICS.                          
 GOING AFTER OTHER MEMBERS.        

486
00:28:01,479 --> 00:28:04,115
 >> YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND THEIR      
 STRATEGY, WHICH WAS TO BELIEVE    

487
00:28:04,215 --> 00:28:06,885
 AT LEAST THAT BY DOING THIS,      
 THEY'RE GOING TO GET MORE OUT OF 

488
00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:09,421
 A BIGGER INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE, 
 RIGHT?                            

489
00:28:09,521 --> 00:28:12,957
 >> YEAH, BUT YOU CAN DO BOTH.     
 THIS IS NOT A ZERO SUM GAME.      

490
00:28:13,058 --> 00:28:15,960
 SOMETIMES, THAT'S KIND OF THE     
 FRUSTRATING PART.                 

491
00:28:16,061 --> 00:28:18,663
 WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE SOMETHING   
 OR NOTHING?                       

492
00:28:18,763 --> 00:28:20,432
 SO THE SPEAKER HAD PROMISED YOU   
 A VOTE.                           

493
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,668
 YOU DIDN'T GET THE VOTE AND       
 PRESUMABLY BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T     

494
00:28:23,768 --> 00:28:24,869
 HAVE THE VOTE.                    

495
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:28,473
 >> I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WAS    
 THE WRONG DECISION BECAUSE A LOT 

496
00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:32,444
 OF PEOPLE WHO YOU HAVE HAD        
 TROUBLE PUSHING THE NO BUTTON.    

497
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:39,117
 >> WE SAW A LOT OF DYSFUNCTION.   
 IS THE PARTY RIGHT NOW A, IS IT   

498
00:28:39,217 --> 00:28:42,854
 A BIG TENT PARTY OR A BIG MESS    
 PARTY AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE    

499
00:28:42,954 --> 00:28:43,788
 LOOK LIKE?                        

500
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:46,558
 >> WE HAVE TO REMEMBER ONE        
 SIMPLE THING.                     

501
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:50,428
 THERE'S FAR MORE THAN WE AGREE    
 ABOUT THAN WE DISAGREE.           

502
00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:52,530
 IF YOU GO TO WORK EVERY DAY       
 REMEMBERING THAT, IT SHOULD BE    

503
00:28:52,630 --> 00:29:15,219
 MUCH EASIER THAN IT IS.
