Last night, if you were up late and watching the public TV chat forum (Markus Lanz) (on ZDF).....he had the Bavarian CSU politician Markus Soder, the guy who was hoping to be the CDU-CSU Chancellor candidate (and failed).
So at some point, Lanz asks Soder....if something did come up now....if the CDU held a new meeting and selected him....would he run as the Chancellor candidate? Soder begged off and said it wasn't happening.
Lanz then asks a second time. Same type of response.
Lanz then asks a third time. Response? More or less....Soder says it's an absurd question.
Why pushing the question?
Well...in three weeks, the Saxony-Anhalt state election occurs, and some folks are suggesting now that the CDU will NOT win the election. Some even go to suggest that the AfD Party might get a two or more points over the CDU Party.
The last poll (end of April)....CDU was ahead of the AfD Party by only two points.
Some people (certainly not a majority) think that if this election on 6 June goes badly....the CDU will have a VIP meeting for the party, and discuss dismissing Laschet as their current choice as Chancellor-candidate.
My speculation? A majority of the forty-odd VIPs within the party absolutely do NOT want Soder....even if he is the only person that could win the September election for the CDU-CSU Party.
