#1 The other half is certain she's insane.

#2 the only reason she has positive support for it now is the 100's of thousands of migrants that were polled

#3 Of more than 5,000 people surveyed
more than 50% thought her statement was rather or fully inaccurate
37% said it had turned out to be completely inaccurate.

Unless the translation got mangled, over 87% thought her statement was either rather, fully, or completely inaccurate. In Imperial units, over 87% is called "most". I'm not quite clear on the distinction between "fully" and "completely". Maybe it's a German thing.

More than one in five people surveyed now agree she was right to be so optimistic.

Go, Angela! Wait, one in five is 20%. That means 80% think she was *wrong* to be so optimistic. Pa-tay-to, Pa-tah-to, I guess. It all depends on which end of the telescope you are looking through. Or what you are trying to sell.

#4 It's just time for this broad to go. I guess she's over her dizzy/fainting spells, oder?

#5 Yeah right. DW, a government channel.

#6 I know, European Conservative. But whatever makes it over that threshold for reporting must be serious indeed.

My German not being what it used to be — and even then more suited to Kindergartners and their mothers than philosophy — and my energy not being what it was as well, I have to hope someone with better German skills will take on responsibility for that part of the world.
