WaPo Reporter: ObamaCare ‘Most Riveting Piece of Legislation in a History’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

CABRERA: “You wrote about Trumps comments in an article on "The post" that is insightful. What did you think about his comments? Is he sort of onto something?”

BUMP: “Yeah. One of the things that Trump has going for him, he can say whatever he wants to say. It's been proven repeatedly. People reward him for it. What he said is something that politicians shouldn't say, that no one cares about policy. There's a truth to that. When voters are making decisions about elected officials, they weigh personality a lot. They don't spend a lot of time driving into what a policy says before they make their decisions.”

CABRERA: “So it's more of an emotional attachment to a candidate versus the facts and figures?”

BUMP: “Yes. Obviously all of us think, how does he stand on this, on that? We look at it at a very superficial level. Most people don't know what is in ObamaCare. It's one of the most riveting pieces of legislation in history. There's so much detail to it, we don't have time for that. That's why we have political parties.”

CABRERA: “So much has been said about Trump being unlike other candidates.”

BUMP: “Right.”

CABRERA: “because he isn't a politician, he is a billionaire."
