Thanks. And to some folks, perhaps having them look at Trump being the 80% solution to our problems. I once worked for an Army general who asked me what the 80% solution to a project/problem I was working on versus the 100% solution a full colonel asked for. I told him that 80% would give the basic information/data in about 3 days, the 100% would take several weeks, because the Army didn’t deploy units the way the colonel thought/wanted the statistics for. The BG said he would take care of the colonel and for me to give him the 80% solution in 3 days.

Sounds like Patton. A half-assed plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. Timing is of essence.
