Is there any consistent pattern to how executive-initiated programs like this tend to get transformed as they move through Congress? Are the strong parts or the weak parts more likely to get altered?

I’m just speculating here... but suppose a station were deliberately out of phase with most other stations. When other stations go on break, frustrated listeners would search for different stations and find the out-of-phase one. They’d listen to that station until its next commercial break, at which point they’d repeat the process and return to their previous stations. The out-of-phase station would get a reputation as the station for listeners who always change stations at ad breaks, which would make it impossible for that station to find advertisers.

Apart from the assassination attempt, the rest might be more simply explained by the existence of an opposing campaign attempting to defeat him.

Definitely—so sources that are close together when projected onto a left-right axis may be far apart in a more multidimensional political space. But the relative ordering along that axis can still be accurate, even if the implied proximity isn’t.
