Politics is the art of compromise, and you succeed by finding some way to agree even with your enemies on some topics while utterly disagreeing on others, and Lynch is being a wise politician by having the decency to admit Trump is not a totally unreasonable guy (he's not, he's known as a deal maker for a reason because the business world works in a similar fashion) and that the press coverage against him has been unfair, and as a political opponent, it would be a lie to claim he doesn't get a kick out of that.
Regardless, Lynch is not entirely sanguine on a lot of Trump's policies and plans to remain guarded on their effectiveness, which is certainly fair enough, and even I, who supported Trump, even I think his sledgehammer approach to the immigration issue was badly implemented even if I agree with the overall intent, so while I disagree politically with Lynch, I can concede he makes excellent points regardless.
Wu, on the other hand, is trying to regard this as a version of the Gamergate narrative, where one side is all holy and the other side is evil incarnate, and there is only the people who are right and the people who are wrong, and that sort of attitude is the death knell of getting anything meaningful done long term in politics.
Further, Wu does not give the impression he gives the slightest shit what his potential constituents think. They need bread on the table, not grandiose ideas. They need someone willing to swallow their pride and make deals in their interests instead of someone who refuses to compromise to the detriment of people whose lives depend on the occasional political compromise, and most of all, the public needs a servant, not someone who dreams of being an overlord over their subjects.
