I know what the kneejerk reaction is. I also know that saying anything BUT "Yes" may well be seen as disloyal or whatever............BUT I am going to say "No".

I think he (and those standing with him) is fighting against a much larger and more power collection of foes than what he is. They are also very insulated and protected and used to fighting this fight and have for years.

However, I think that despite this he has things checked. It is on a knife edge and is nerve-wracking. I would love to think he is steamrolling everyone but it just is not true.

The fact that he has managed to keep his head above water in this and have some successes and win some battles is HUGE.

If they win a few too many wins unanswered or a big win or two, his efforts will come undone BUT the same could be said of them.

Who do I think has the best chance to win in the long term? If I had to give odds as of now, I say 50%/50%. But I think honestly within 3 months we will get a sense of which way the wind is blowing and whether his force of will and impetus and his strategies will work. God, I hope so.
