Ref: thread Tom and Fredo may be of interest regarding Tom's shortcomings
Than again, Michael had his own shortcomings and failings as well among others,
[also Don Tommasino] underestimating Fabrizio
falling for 'spin doctor' Ola's 'propaganda' about Tropigala that Michael can move Klingman out and their friend [Roth] in Miami will go along [in spte of Ola bringing an orange! from Miami]
underestimating Roth
[also Vito] underestimating Fredo
underestimating the Rosato brothers that they would “settle these troubles†with Pentangeli
underestimating Kay [Kay overestimating Michael and self-deceiving, unrealistic legitimacy, let alone in five years]
underestimating Anthony
overestimating Vincent
Perhaps Michael could [should?] have handled differently
[also Vito] giving Fredo at least a face saving role in the family to show that Fredo is valued in his own right
Michael not comforting his wife, Kay who just had a 'miscarriage'
Perhaps if Michael had the same “losing the family†talk with Kay......second chance at their marriage
The treatment of Tom the only person Michael could trust even though Tom was not the most competent! consigliere
Hanging Frankie Pentangeli out to dry
Not taking care of the 'dead' capo Frankie's family
Killing his own blood brother Fredo
