Personally, I think he is a dead man walking, but we'll see. He definitely says he is going to stand against corruption. That's like taking a stand against tacos.
I hope he will not carry out his threat to facilitate an invasion of the USA by countries south of the border. That will force the hand of the US as to whether we have a border, immigration control, or not. I'm going to assume for now it's all campaign rhetoric.
I pray that he can create a country that it's citizens don't want to leave. But like I say. IMO, He's a dead man walking unless be cooperates with the cartels, and you can't be a corruption fighter and "one of theirs" at the same time.
Interesting times ahead for Mexico and the US.
Veteran Leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has been elected president of Mexico, winning the largest landslide in his country's recent history in a remarkable routing of what he terms “the mafia of power”.
Promising to combat corruption and drive down record crime rates, Mr Lopez Obrador captured 53 per cent of the vote, according to preliminary results - a historic victory for the party he created.
Voters decided in their millions to turn their backs on the two parties which have ruled Mexico for almost 100 years, and finally give him a chance - sending his supporters into a frenzy.
