Yudhishtir was practically the only threat, if he was removed there was no obstacle to the throne for his sons
But practically Yudhishtir wasn't as efficient. Had he not got the support of Bheem Arjun n Krishna or Duryodhan would have got better support than Karna probably the results could have been different
That what Dhritarashtra said to Sanjay :
Dhritarashtra said to Sanjaya "The son of Kunti and Pandu, Yudhishthira, is virtuous and brave and eschews deeds that bring on shame. Endued with great energy, he hath been wronged by Duryodhana. If he were not high-minded, they would in wrath burn the Dhritarashtras. I do not so much dread Arjuna or Bhima or Krishna or the twin brothers as I dread the wrath of the king, O Suta, when his wrath is excited. His austerities are great; he is devoted to Brahmacharya practices. His heart's wishes will certainly be fulfilled. When I think of his wrath, O Sanjaya, and consider how just it is, I am filled with alarm."[16]
