I'm not sure if these were meant only for council candidates, but anyway:

It would be very bad in general, as well as for the MS model as
the transition plan is a product of the MS model.

Without being privy to Heritage's activities, I'm definitely not
supporting any such efforts by anybody.

At this point that would require something so unexpected that it
is not possible to make any concrete plan of response. It would
depend on how it'd actually happen.

I really don't see it happening now, though, and thus don't see
the point of spending much time in planning a response either.
