There is a very old and apt expression:
"that every politician has a field marshal's baton in their knapsack."

Prime ministerial baton will never be in Turnbull's reach
Abbott is going quite well in the opinion polls. However, if he were to stumble, the opposition leader's position would most likely go to Joe Hockey, Andrew Robb or Scott Morrison. Turnbull's lack of political judgment has blinded him to the fact that his body of support is located outside the joint-party Coalition room in Canberra. Most Liberals and all Nationals parliamentarians who watched Lateline on Wednesday would not have regarded themselves as viewing the performance of a potential prime minister.

Yes, i wonder too. 🙂
I could not believe when I heard the Morrison interview today. Does he have a (political) death wish?
We all know how desperate TA was to become PM, wonder how desperate he was to hold onto his job. Was there anything that he would not do?
