I think you're giving him too much credit. Flooding the Sunday morning news shows isn't tech saavy or an organizational strength. It's Narcicistic and Egomaniacal. Hardly a people skill. Besides, I would consider him weak on people skills when he can't get his own party to get along.

Unless I'm missing something.. we won't know of course until the final draft is voted on.

You're missing something. A tax credit is a government giveaway. You dont' have to pay it, in order to get it back. That's why almost a third of all people actually get more of a refund than they pay in.
A tax credit is not the same as a deductions. You can have no (taxable) income, therefore pay no tax, and still get a refund because of tax credits. Like Homestead or Child credits.
