Playbook this AM:

IF ALL GOES AS PLANNED, by Thursday morning, the HOUSE will be voting on the half-trillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill that just passed the Senate, readying it for a trip to the White House for President DONALD TRUMP’S signature.
AND, AT THE SAME TIME, REPUBLICANS will begin unfurling a new political attack against the Democrats with whom they negotiated this package: They wasted time and cost Americans jobs.
REPUBLICANS ARE PLANNING to blame Democrats for sky-high jobless numbers after they spent two weeks pushing to broaden the package to include funding for priorities like hospitals and coronavirus testing. Rs preferred a smaller bill, with just more money for small-business loans
WE SAW THE BEGINNING OF THIS STRATEGY on Tuesday, when @GOPLeader said the new jobless claims data this week will be “Nancy Pelosi’s unemployment list."
@GOPLeader REPUBLICANS’ CLAIM is a stretch, as are many political critiques. But the broadside is instructive in understanding the outlines of the GOP’s political strategy six months before what could be one of the strangest elections of our lifetime.
@GOPLeader JUST AFTER THEY NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL WITH DEMOCRATS, Republicans plan on smacking them across the face with it, breaking the tacit agreement that negotiated, bipartisan policy accords should not become political wedges.
@GOPLeader DEMOCRATS, of course, say that they were able to turn a simple $251 billion business lending package into a robust, $500 billion bill that gave much-needed money to hospitals, testing and other priorities.
@GOPLeader Few impt @senatemajldr points

— he wont consider more stimulus until the whole senate is back. Check out this intvw w @burgessev politi.co/3cGsjNw
-- MCCONNELL STARTED SOUNDING THE ALARM on the amount of money Congress is spending. “We’ve allocated a stunning amount of money -- $2.2 trillion -- knowing full well that that probably wouldn’t be enough. …
More @senatemajldr: " … I think it’s also time to begin to think about the amount of debt that we’re adding to our country and the future impact of that.”
