clever campaigning

Merkel is deliberately going to small towns which are hotbeds of support for the AfD to get pelted and booed.

She’ll boost her national vote by 2-3% because middle middle Germans are terrified of political ‘extremism’

brilliant

“Merkel is deliberately going to small towns which are hotbeds of support for the AfD to get pelted and booed”

Historians point out that the [wiki] “The National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German: About this sound Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei , abbreviated NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party” used a very similar campaign strategy during their rise to power. The NSDAP literally campaigned in small villages for 4 years to acquire a number of seats in the German government, which allowed them an eventual majority in the voting chambers.

They are. What they cannot seem to see is that Merkel is an extremist.

In trying to avoid the horrors of the past, the Germans are headed right back into them. It's like you can't escape your fate.

Je mehr sie versuchen, die Schrecken der Vergangenheit zu vermeiden, desto mehr verurteilen sie sich, sie zu wiederholen.

Certainly doesn’t hurt her having the media on her side every step of the way. But then again, so did Hillary.
