I don't know how he can possibly redeem himself, he's done and continues to do, so many things the people who elected him don't like and didn't expect. One I read about recently is cutting 2 billion? from the VA to get money for other parts of his budget. The VA desperately needs 2 billion MORE to take care of the new returning war veterans. I don't see how it can withstand a cut like that.
