#4 Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can recover. Mexico will hit rock bottom faster with a Obrador at the helm so the next guy can rebuild.

#5 "The threats of mass demonstrations and court challenges are complicating the outlook"

Maybe he can get AlGore to advise him. :-D

#6 If he does win, the rich Mexicans have no one to blame but themselves. There is no excuse for Mexico to be as poor as it is, and the average Mexican knows it. The last few presidents have had an unofficial program of sending young men and women up north so they can send checks back home, instead of creating problems in Mexico because they can't find jobs.

Lopez Obrador hit close to home when he said that the emigration of well over 10% of Mexico's population to the US is a disgrace. I'll never believe for a second that they really prefer life up here to life back home (why else would they work like hell to pile up cash with the express desire to return home someday?) I ran into plenty of illegals in my previous job who had just that plan. Their dreams involved going back home with enough money to buy some land or start a small business....not really about staying in America or having their children and grandchildren grow up to be Americans.

Give them the opportunity to make a decent wage in Mexico (or start making even a little progress in that direction), and we won't have to worry about illegals taking over our jobs. They would prefer to stay home with their family any day.
