I'm not giving him a pass on anything. But I also don't expect everything to get done in "the first 100 days!"

I believe to prioritize is pretty smart right now. Especially, when he needs to win over some friends to get the bigger stuff done.
I didn't get the impression that this reversal was intended by him to be temporary. It's possible, however, that if we hold him to his promises, he may return to his previous position. Give him a pass, and forget about it. He's under way too much pressure to go along with the Deep State unless he receives some pressure going the other way.

PS The fact that I'm overjoyed that Hillary didn't win doesn't cloud my vision when I see Trump reversing himself on central promises. Fixing the open borders issue is core to our survival, and survival is where we are at this point in history. We don't have the luxury anymore for anything short of radical solutions.
