>Whacks the boss of hundreds of soldiers in line for him and thought he was perfectly safe.How retarded was he?
there was a scene of Jackie forcing Corrado to a sitdown to agree on Jackie's position as boss so you can infer that Corrado doesnt have much support within the family, so when Jackie dies his faction would naturally support Tony who was Jackie's pick rather than the much older Junior.
The real question is why did he bring Paulie along to meet with Agent Harris, shouldn't he have known how that was going to look? No wonder Paulie sold him out to New York, talking to the feds.
