Republicans make peace after discord

The Hill reports:

Senate Republicans appeared eager Tuesday to lay down their arms after days of intraparty strife over highway legislation.

Several lawmakers insisted that the conflict between conservatives and party leaders was not evidence of a splintering caucus, and they predicted they will unify for the fiscal battles that loom on the legislative calendar.

“We have very intense and strong advocates in our caucus. … I’m not going to say we have absolute unity. I don’t think any caucus ever does,” said Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho). “But I do believe we’ve got strong consensus.”

Peace through unity?
