I expect his own party pulls the daggers out in short order. For their sake, they better hope that the radical elements trying to take control fail again.

Will be interesting to see - if I had to bet I'd guess he will be leading them into the next election. They're broke, he did well at the debate and I thought if anything he seemed to improve their polling numbers once he got some face time. I'd bet he'll get one more shot in a few years at the next election and then get bounced if they don't break 40. They're going to have their heads down for a couple years now, I heard it said during the coverage that they actually even had to mortgage their HQ during this campaign, would take something seismic for them to take on a new leadership race or election for a while
