If it gets interpreted more clearly this way in subsequent Supreme Court decisions (because there will definitely be 1+), then I like the ruling.
To me, it's clear that there's {President-the-President} and {President-the-candidate}. Furthermore, campaign staff are explicitly not federal employees nor members of the executive branch.
What really needs to happen, and I believe what the Court was promoting the legislative branch to do, is for Congress to pass laws circumscribing Presidential authority specifically around elections.

In the form of can-do and can't-do.
