Venezuela all over again. Did Soros supply the voting machines and expertise to operate them for the socialists? Can’t imagine the Colombians voting for a socialist if voting information was available to them It all sounds corrrupt..

Perhaps the Colombian military should hold a little meeting to discuss how to best handle this situation.

They will probably stand on the sidelines. This guy may be just like Obrador. Full of rhetoric

“But “America’s strongest ally”? Yeah, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.”

Yes, I agree with you. She had to have meant strongest Latin American ally, which is a reasonable claim.

“How could the voters be so stupid?”

Who says the voters had any say in the matter? If he is using Chavez’ playbook, then he likely rigged the vote just like Chavez did.

I expect Jimbo Carter to praise this election as fair and proper. After that he’ll congratulate his fellow traveler for winning.

The attraction of socialism for the underclass is they think they will get a cut of the assets of those who have more than them.

And the consequences will be blamed on someone and\or something else! Which they’ll believe! Otherwise, they would have to take the blame for participating in making their own lives miserable!

"Colombia's election: How could the voters be so stupid? They just elected a far-left Hugo Chavez-adoring freak named Gustavo Petro for president"

Dominion's real logo and motto

“Voter fraud maybe? I heard that’s a problem some places.”

This is laugh out loud funny!

Well, let me tell you...
I was just uptown, and ran into a hard core communist...
This is Trump country, yet this bitch was spouting off like nobody’s business...
And she worked at Walmart....
These people live among us..
And they vote..
Sometimes more than once...

Simon Bolivar........

Letter near the end of his life (November 9, 1830)

“As you know, I have led for twenty years and have obtained only a few certain results:

(Latin) America is ungovernable by us.

He who serves a revolution plows in the sea.

The only thing one can do in (Latin) America is emigrate.

This country [Colombia] will fall unfailingly into the hands of the unbridled crowd and then pass almost imperceptibly to tyrants of all colors and races.

Devoured by all crimes and extinguished by ferocity, the Europeans will not deign to conquer us.

If it were possible for one part of the world to return to primitive chaos, this would be the last period of (Latin) America.”

Gutiérrez Escudero, Antonio, ed. (2005), “6. Carta al general Juan José Flores, jefe del estado de Ecuador (Barranquilla, 9 de noviembre de 1830) [Letter to General Juan José Flores, head of state of Ecuador, Barranquilla, November 9, 1830”] (in Spanish), Simón Bolívar: aproximación al pensamiento del Libertador (approximations to the thoughts of the liberator), Escuela de Estudios Hispano-Americanos (CSIC), Sevilla, p. 12, retrieved on 2017-11-06

Bolivar also said earlier in a letter to Jefferson or Adams? that the Latin American countries had to be ruled by an authoritarian hand as they had proved themselves unsuitable for democracy and would do so for centuries.

No time to find the cite, but it is out there.

Turning South and Central America, at least in part to “socialist” strong man run paradises will give Red China the millions of thuggish hordes needed to properly arm and overwhelm us rich gringos.

Truly, a clash of civilizations.

It like LOTR’s.

<>"How could the voters be so stupid?"<>

Are we lacking in self-awareness here?

Our President needs training wheels and a diaper.
