I hope they end but no, you're probably right that

I hope they end but no, you're probably right that they won't. There's this Pollyanna portion of me buried way deep that still hopes that somehow they'll manage to pull it off, but that hope has been battered and beaten so badly from multiple failures, gross mismanagement and such lack of real, truthful communication, that the hope barely exists anymore, and is hardly recognizable as anything resembling hope..
