"In part, but I want to you to understand Grandfather. He knows that he has two strong challengers for the presidential election, and wants to blunt them, by creating family ties, and pressure them to drop out.

If he can do enough to get rid of both he will guarantee his place in the run-off election, and if he is there he will likely win, because with the uncertain times that it looks like we have ahead, people will vote for a known person, rather than an unknown on the national stage."
