“White House chief of staff Ron Klain is trying to avoid the pitfalls of the last Democratic administration with his approach to President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package: Don’t spend months pursuing Republican votes and don’t wait to start selling it to the public,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Klain, a longtime adviser to Mr. Biden, watched the Obama administration struggle to gain public approval for its economic stimulus package and push for GOP votes for the Affordable Care Act… Now, he is advancing a White House strategy to engage Republicans while preparing to pass the president’s policies without their support.”

“He has also been a key messenger, appearing on cable shows and tweeting so much that some Republican aides on Capitol Hill said his feed has become a must-read.”

2. That was a problem too with Obama care.

4. And even after kowtowing to the right, some of the Dems lost their elections any way.
