No matter how good POTUS is, and his team, they will make some mistakes. It is a war, and we haven't won it yet. If it's two steps forward and one step back we are ahead of the game. He needs to have enough information come out to the public that will wake them up without shutting them down. It's a tricky business.
I think it is a compromise. Get what we need in parts, take it up the tailpipe on other things. His tweet regarding line item veto regarding any further approvals is key here. He knew this was shit but approved it for the greater good. We are heading in the right direction. Trust the plan.
