Seems to me that Trump gets the right person and makes the right decisions—but often after first taking, then recovering from, an errant step.
Examples on the staff level include wanting Kasich, then deciding on Christie, before making the great pick of Pence for VP. Or having Lewandowski and then Manafort, before settling on the great team of Conway and Bannon.
We’ve seen how he almost always settles on the very right policies, but often has to quickly modify, a bit, his initial spoken position.
My guess is that this is the same, but he will work it all out before too long.

There is zero evidence that Trump ever wanted Kasich. Do you have insider info, that Trump himself wanted Christie as veep? A lot of people claimed Trump wanted Scott Brown, but that was due to a total twisting and misrepresentation of a Trump comment.
Lewandowski was perfect for the early part of the campaign. Paul Manafort was indispensable for the convention phase. Each was ideal for a certain leg of the campaign.
Good points. I like Bannon, but I would like him to stay in the background. This pick is fine.
