this is a poor narrative that will backfire, politically. it makes him seem like he's soft on xenophobia and willing to compromise with conservatives. that makes him an easy target from the left. and, it's a fool's game to expect reciprocation from the conservatives he's reaching out to.

he should be sticking to the narrative about simply needing more time. it's reasonable and believable and doesn't set himself up like this.

i'm going to go with hypocrisy.

there was nothing wrong with admitting that the time tables were unrealistic. but, caving into pressure like this is very disappointing.
