I guess you wouldn't believe in goading him into running in the first place
with a false sense of support, and then stabbing him in the back.  I mean
when you look at it, that's what happened to Caesar.  He was effectively
immune, then they elected him and stabbed him in the back.  As you can see I
contend we don't, and you're too pessimistic.  It's quite realistic that
someone considered a royal can't publically be taken out.
