Justis, that's not the case at all. Even Turnbull faces major challenges that grow worse each day.
Under Tony Abbott Brand Liberal has been absolutely trashed and voters know just how reactionary people like George Brandis, Scott Morrison, Eric Abetz, Cory Bernadi, Kevin Andrews, Peter Dutton, Andrew Robb, Greg Hunt, Joe Hockey, Steven Ciobo and Mathias Corman really are.
Malcolm Turnbull would start as a popular frontman, but voters know the grunge lurking beneath the surface and will be alert to their destructive negativity and reactionary influence.
If Turnbull became PM tomorrow he's also going to have to deal with the incredible mess that Abbott's created and explain that to mainstream Australians who were told this would be a government of NO excuses.
Even our sharemarket is sending out the message that Australia lacks the vision and leadership it needs and that we're not heading in the right direction. And despite Abbott's bullyboy noise, the banks are giving the thumbs down to his coal-fired economy as investors flee our shores.
