With his unimpressive (and tainted) background, he doesn't command the respect as MP did, and without that respect, he probably looks like a two bit husseler when trying to hawk PP's.
Leave the husseling to Robert, he's been know to bring in a PP investor or two. In fact, I believe that he's the one that brought in the Lubbock group.
Can't give JB any credit for that.
Maybe your thoughts on a takeover are close to the truth. I can see Robert taking over this whole operation with his close knit Lubbock group backing him.
He'd be like JB though, he'd need someone behind the scenes doin' his readin', writin' and rithmetic for him.
