I think this is also the explanation of what @kdrum pointed to yesterday. It's not that congressional leaders are too "wonky" to have set realistic legislative goals, they're all too weak to tell the various groups no without the whole string playing out first. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes @kdrum Yes absolutely. But I mean the ACA had many more parameters dictated from leadership — starting with the fact that there was going to be a big health care bill and not various other worthy priorities. — PolitiTweet.org
