They learn.
Expect occasional praise WRT their pet causes, as this will give them room to criticize when they need to undermine something important on his agenda.

True enough; I don't trust 'em either but 2 edges to that blade. I'd say this has a lot more substance than starting out one's legacy with "Clearly, the Cambridge police acted stupidly." The stakeholders in that room, who've been trying to get something like this done for a long time - plucking something neglected out of the bureaucratic dungeon - are going to carry that back. I imagine the business-model piece of the decision was a no-brainer and both he & the people he has around him probably saw that piece of it immediately.
