Just like when Obamacare came along: all the resistance & criticism. Now people get the benefit.When can we stop learning the hard way?The politicization of good ideas has huge consequences Detrimental consequences.Usually criticism is started & amplified by dishonest Republicans

Gulf countries hated Obama's Iran nuclear deal. Now they are rooting for Biden to restart it. Why?

1. They saw that it worked. To their surprise, Iran made good on its end.

2. They know a failure to get back into a deal sets off a cataclysmic nuclear weapons race in the region.

Because 1) they are bereft of ideas except for cutting taxes for the rich and 2) they only want power for the sake of being in power and. Number 1 does nothing for 99% of the people they’ve conned into voting for them, so they have to distract from both #s 1 & 2 by making policies that actually benefit people appear to look bad.
