Diosdado Cabello gave Maduro rule by decree for a reason. So Maduro could fuck up, and Cabello or his proxy could move up.

The opposition doesn't have a hope in hell absent a complete repudiation in the barrios (that may come eventually if things aren't mended, but it's not likely in the very near term) -- the Boligarchs control the military (riddled with Cubans, it is, too) and the challenge will be for Cabello to throw Cuba out of VZ and get it back on track while not getting killed in the process.
