If Armin Laschet is the Chosen CDU Chancellor Candidate?

 I would suggest four things falling into play from this point to September:

1.  A general drop of six points (currently at 27 points and in the lead).  If true, they would be near 21-percent on election day (this is me saying this....NOT German journalists).

2.  The Greens with 23-to-25 percent would manage to win.

3.  Voters shifting away from the CDU?  They'd mostly move to the FDP Party....moving them up around 15-percent.

4.  The CDU executive membership would probably demand that Laschet give up his 'party-chief' job for the party because of the dismal results.  Either Soder, or Spahn would be dispatched as the new 'party-chief'.

This 'win' would be the worst set of circumstances for forming a government since 1947.
