Many were saying how Kirchner would run again next time against now center-right President Macri. Maybe this time Argentinians will be finally rid of her...... Botox lady of Latin America.

Is the tide turning?

Kirchner indicted
Dilma out
Maduro on the ropes
Trump on the rise

Is this a trend in politics?
