I think he respects them as having a lot more experience than he did in govt., so he heeded their advice and took direction from them.
It's the only thing I can think of that would explain what he did as opposed to what he said he was going to do. I can't think of anybody doing a total 180 on things like he did. Especially when he seemed so passionate about NOT doing that.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if that is exactly what happened. Every politician makes promises they can't or don't keep, but he did a full 180 on this. I have a feeling they might have convinced him that his enemies might use it against him somehow and he got paranoid.
