I think you hit the nail on the head OldSkool !! A number of them hung around 'hoping' they would be the next prez , or if not them, someone they were 'palywaly' with, who would help feather their nest. Then when their hopes are shattered, they muster up the cahunas to finally leave. Maybe what Rico described about revelation is true...in HIS own mind. Seriously, things became so warped and twisted and lah lah in twi that one could talk oneself into believing almost anything !!
