it'll be like fighting cocks with spurs attached to their ankles, vicious dogs wailing in the night. Neither De Santis, Pompeo or whoever that is currently visible on that side has any chance of dominating any more than a minor faction....severely lacking in the charisma stakes if nothing else. These people can hardly be termed "sensible". There will no longer be any incentive to gather round one or the other when one might win oneself. There are no prizes for being the one that serves the dictator rather than being the one that dictates as those serving are useful but expendable....and their lives are often short. I often come back to Putin's story of the death of the first Tsar 1000 years ago when it took the mutual slaughter of 17 pretenders to the thrown befor a surviving "champion" emerged.
