Remember emotions are still high, so this will be the worst the numbers are and some people will move back, but there is no doubt there was a hit in support. The question is how much support was lost and how much can be won back.
Good analysis, the question I have is if he was going to sign, why didn't he have his administration out there trying to calm the base down? 8 hours later on Hannity when there was time to stop, think and plan and still nothing. Seems like if you pick option 2 then you have a plan for the fallout. Do you think the administration was caught off guard with just how much backlash there was?
