4. He took away all their reasons not to repeal. He did it his way and it worked.
He didn't settle for some fickle "use the courts to do it" approach. He didn't use his executive power to put a band aid on it that could have been easily ignored by a future President. He took the long view and focused on repeal in the most powerful, effective and permanent way possible and he is delivering.

Thats what leadership actually is. It can often be quiet and calculating, contrary to those who have been screaming and beating their chests for him to scream and beat his chest.
