I'm seeing stories that Breyer didn't really plan this, or at least how it's unfolding now.
I believe that. An SC pick must be needed to solve a big problem, so Breyer is going to have to take one for the team. My guess is they're going to move Heels in there to get her out of the line of succession, then it's daggers out for Brandon.
Heels get kicked upstairs, we're fed bullshit that it's been her dream since childhood, and Brandon gets a medical pass out and a sympathy gaslight. Already seeing polls claiming peeps see Brandon as likeable and smart (no shit, that's what they're pushing, now), but not competent enough.
Writing's on the wall, AFAIC. Brandon/Heels is a loser duo. Need to be jettisoned. I think that's why they're running Brandon out there now. Sink or swim. He either convinces people he's competent and the tide turns, or everyone realizes he's cognitively impaired. Obvious, to me, after the Doocey incident, that he's not perceptive enough to know the extent of the environment he's currently in, so I think he's being trotted out there to fail publicly. No use trying to keep the basement game going, because they want him gone.
TL;DR. Brandon/Heels have been written off. Heels to SC and Brandon takes a sympathy medical.
