It is difficult to imagine how Dr. Leitch can be elected leader of the CPC if the members give the matter even 30 seconds of thought.  The whole point is for them to elect a leader who has the necessary attributes to lead them to victory and government in 2019.  Does anyone seriously think that Dr. Leitch is PM material?

Because that's what it comes down to:  they are electing a leader who they will put forward to Canadians as their next PM.
