Steve Scalise's Problem Is Personal. He's Not Kevin McCarthy.

This is the ultimate Washington parlor game. It's wheeling and dealing, and it's the kind of thing that we used to see on the regular. With Nancy Pelosi, it was more heavy-handed. But previously, this is the way it works. Remember when there were earmarks? I mean, this is a different situation. That's the whole reason earmarks tended to work for a leader because you could get things out of your members that you wanted. Steve Scalise may not have to make some of the compromises that Kevin McCarthy has because Kevin McCarthy's problem is it's personal.
