    Yeah, kinda wondering why the cartels want her in office. Maybe she’s less good than she appears.

    Also wondering why anyone would want to lead Mexico given that angering the cartels will get you cartel’d…

      I’ll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that’s misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.

      Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.
