For every new administration, it is important that the team is firing on all cylinders from the moment the president takes the oath of office.
This time around however it becomes far more important. Consider the working factors involved.
The president has a strong majority in both the house and the Senate. This of itself might be important in other years, but this year that’s a bit of a question mark because of the number of establishment Republicans amongst long-term Republican seat holders.
There is, however, a rather important factor which has not been lost on anyone watching the high level Democrats in burning in the news. The circular firing squad that is the Democratic party of the moment gives the president and his team serious advantages not to be had at any other point during the electoral cycle. They need to jump on this in a real hurry before they get their act together.
