Kasie Hunt: Trump’s Right It Was Easier to Get Things Done with Earmarks

‘You can see the business guy who wants to be able to shut the door behind two people and offer things’

EXCERPT:

HUNT: "I think on this earmark question, the reality here is that the President is right. In many ways it was a lot easier to get things done when earmarks were around. You can see the business guy who wants to be able to shut the door behind two people and offer things and say, 'Okay. You want this, you want that? I’ll make that happen. The two of you figure it out.' I think you’re seeing him express and you saw him express in public a frustration that he has, you know, learned about this reality in Washington that there’s no longer this kind of horsetrading that goes on behind the scene."
