    I think the issue of "learning the lessons of Obama's first term" is radically overstated. All the Obama people knew, from the get go, that they weren't going to get cooperation from the GOP. They were just terrified of them. What has changed is the GOP is weaker, and though a https://twitter.com/tammyischatty/status/1358492380123566088 …

        I don't remember where I read it but I believe early on Rahm admitted they believed yes there will be a hard-core group of GOPers who refuse to vote for stimulus, but as the popularity of it increases they will become smaller and more marginalized on later votes.

        Republican weakness doesn't account for sidelining the likes of Emmanuel and Summers.

        Don't believe for a minute that Obama handed off the ACA negotiations to Max Baucus -- to spend 3 months fruitlessly wooing Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe -- because he was fully informed about the GOP intentions. I just don't buy it.

        I don't see how this thread isn't obviously ludicrous. The Republicans are less powerful now, with 50 senate seats and 213 House seats, than they were in 2009 with 41 and 178?

        I think he’s wrong about the GOP being weaker than 2009, though. The whole country is weaker at this point, and if anything, the gains Republicans made during the Obama and then Trump years are a relative gain.

        No. This is an attempt at rewriting history. Ds had 60 votes in the Senate at the time, Obama clearly felt he had been elected to transcend partisanship, and all the media talked about were swing voters. We lived through it. We remember.

        If memory serves, the Democrats were more afraid of Joe Lieberman than of the Republicans.
