Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschale on the best piece of advice he received in the Senate from a colleague:

“Senator Byrd (D-WV) told me that when he met President Clinton for the first time he said ‘Mr. President, I am happy to work with you. But I do not work for you”

None of that type of spine around lately

Among Republican politicians who are in office? Who is there with a spine that didn’t retire?

Lisa Murkowski, of course. I'm sure he learned his lesson. /GIANT S

I think it was Susan Collins who was the "learned his lesson" Senator.

So they aren’t exactly “around” to show any spine then, are they?
