EXCERPT:
KHARDORI: "The debate was not good. It was not a good performance. However, I have to say that all these scenarios about him being replaced or whatever, particularly the involuntary ones, they sound like wasting fanfiction to me. I think that the party both by commission and omission and I mean not just the official party operatives, but the media sort of aligned with the party, they made their decision by commission and omission months, if not years ago. I think as a practical matter, I don’t see a scenario in which they could switch him out that would not be riskier than the status quo."
