New 'Boss' of the CDU Party?

 Friedrich Merz finally pushed back the pro-Merkel crowd and was elected the new party 'boss' yesterday to the CDU.

Long time coming?  You can go back around twelve years ago and view how the Merkel enthusiasts cornered him at various opportunities.  In 2020?  Same deal....he was pushed back.  Early in 2021....the Merkel-clone Laschet was the selected Chancellor candidate for the party and lost badly.  In this run for the party 'boss'?  He had basically two Merkel clones opposing him for the past two months as talks continued on.

You can more or less say the Merkel era has closed out for the party now, and things probably will progress in a different way.  

On debate style?  He has an aggressive ability and usually wins arguments.  What remains of the Merkel-clones?  I'd say five or six still hold strength in the party.
