One of the consequences for not staying on message is that critical issues go unnoticed. It’s a strategic imperative to own the narrative, and yes, I know the liberal progressive media is stacked against anyone who’s not a progressive socialist.

Aetna said it expected to lose more than $300 million on its Affordable Care Act plans offered this year.”
