Exactly why a lot of Bernie bros voted for Trump over Hillary.creepycoug said:
What is chintresting, and I kid you not, is that many of your fellow Trump supporters who we know and are connected to my wife on social media have expressed support for, or at the very least interest in, this guy as a new-era populist.oregonblitzkrieg said:https://newstatesman.com/world/north-america/2018/07/who-lopez-obrador-mexico-s-new-socialist-firebrand-president
Beset by corruption, poverty and endemic violence, Mexican voters sent a message of desperation on Sunday by voting overwhelmingly to make socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador their next president. This is bad for the U.S., but even worse for Mexico.
President Trump did the neighborly thing in congratulating Obrador on his victory and pledged to work with him. But in fact Obrador's win bodes ill for future relations. His talking points for the policies he'll pursue once in office sound much more like Venezuela's late socialist dictator Hugo Chavez than, say, Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.
For starters, Obrador vows to renationalize the oil industry, halt all cooperation with U.S. immigration laws, give amnesty to the drug cartels, boost farm subsidies and remove "multinational" investment in agriculture, encourage mass migration by Mexicans to the U.S., while using remittances from workers in the U.S. to fuel Mexican growth.
I think you'll find that your nuvo American conservatism isn't as far removed politically from the socialists. You don't want less government. You just want to get more of your guysm in there to get their reads down.
Trump has more in common with Bernie than he does, say, Ted Cruz. The only real similarity between Trump and Cruz is their willingness to play/pander to evangelicals (Trump) and be an evangelical (Cruz). -
Mexico needs to get their shit together. There is no reason people should need to flee form there. They has a fucked up culture and should be embarrassed as a people.

I don't understand how they can actually support this guy. They should know better from the examples from history, especially the recent history of Venezuela. This isn't about being conservative or being liberal. It's about being on the clock, recognizing the writing on the wall, and getting important shit done to preserve and defend the republic from itself. The republican party is a tool to be used for a time and season to get this done. Most of them will become more corrupted the longer they're in power, like happens with every party. It's why we need to amend the constitution to include term limits.creepycoug said:

Pretty sure Mexico would just support anyone new

Of course I can't know this for certain, but I strongly suspect (1) Trump is pandering (I don't think he's a religious guy at his core) and (2) Cruz is not pandering (I think is fundamentally a religious guy).dnc said:

If one of them is pulling the wool, it's Trump, not Cruz. -
Evangelicals buying Trump's religious line is underrated nutty.creepycoug said:

Big if true. Many reports of not enough ballots generated for the amount of voters across the country. At least in Q Roo. Probably standard ops down there and explains the 3 day prohibition for locals around Election Day.dnc said:
Maybe the cartels in charge want them to have elections, ever think of that?salemcoog said:He’ll take cartel bribes the right way though. Why does Mexico even bother with any elections when the Cartels run the Country and Military anyway.
