It's been said all along that much could be done with EOs but it seems that every little thing involved must first be thoroughly checked.
Pres. Trump deserves a lot of credit for moving ahead on this and allowing buyers to form groups that can buy across state lines. Way to go!
I think the delay was because he tried working with the Pub party and they not only sold us out, but sold him out as well. The primary loss of Strange may have gotten Pres. Trump back on the right tract as well. It's probably become clear to him that his base won't just go wherever he wants and if he wants to keep them he has to push ahead with what he said he would do. It's a shame the Pub party doesn't understand this.
