However, for continued support from and for his party, he will have to continue to pursue their agenda. Thinking long term, he is just the first agent they have put into position. To maintain that position for his party beyond his administration, he will have to continue to win their loyalty. Therefore, he will push their agenda. He has so far attempted to push other items, but this is already causing them to become irate. Sooner ore later, he will start spewing the party line.
