What Ma should do now is not get involved. He should take the chance to establish a nomination mechanism and allow the primaries to decide the final candidate.

Even if he decides to run, pan-blue voters may think of him as veteran who is refusing to give the next generation a chance, and there is a chance that he could lose.

I think it shows the differences between the parties are pretty big.

This is the best case scenario as it does not involve the president and his wife.

If (Chen Che-nan) is sentenced, it gives the impression that he's not protected by the law and gives the impression the government can take care of this.
