Jun 17th, 2015 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Zannini also forms the top table, with Máximo Kirchner, of the K universe and has strong connections with La Cámpora.”
Jun 17th, 2015 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0If they again elect these clowns, I will have no shred of sympathy for Argentines at all.
Argentines are stupid enough and masochistic enough to perpetuate their nightmare (and continue with their ANTI-democracy regime to make their neighbors suffer).
Jun 17th, 2015 - 11:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0@4 The problem is that if they boot out the K's they will have to admit they have been wrong and idiots. I can't see them doing that. Unless they can concoct some story about the K's really being controlled by the English Pirates and Falkland Islanders deliberately sent to destroy Argentina.

Jun 17th, 2015 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wish you K-swine in perpetuity!
These Kidoits often times look like they have had head trauma or are missing chromosome or two.
Jun 17th, 2015 - 01:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its like having Frank Underwood as your VP. Scioli is going to look like a puppet and its going to only backfire on him.
Jun 17th, 2015 - 01:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Opposition is scared and is furious with Macri for not making a alliance with Massa.
Macri couldn't have Massa running the governance of BsAs for him for a very simple reason, he is a presidential of 40 yo in the most populace province. It would have being suicide. That doesnt mean that PRO will have alliance with FR in the province of BsAs.
But of course this is all said is invalid speculation of someone entirely out of touch from the basement of his Mom in the USA that has never set a foot in Argentina!!!!
Left, right it makes no difference.
Jun 17th, 2015 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0rotting roadkill is a fatalistically doomed country.
rotting roadkillians are bad.
What more is there to say?
nothing.
Madam is desperate to get parliamentary immunity from prosecution. Question: How much did she pay Sciolli for inclusión on his ticket?
Jun 17th, 2015 - 04:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sounds very much to me it is NOT what you know it is WHO you know. Don't tell him your name Pike.
Jun 17th, 2015 - 05:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 011. Scioli was always a underdog in the K government and always played a “cool and low carb” Kirchnerism. The hardliners and arse lickers despised him for it, but somehow he retains good approval rates that seem to be a complete mystery better suited for socio psychological studies than political analysis has he was consistently publicly humiliated in 12 years since he was with the Ks and is nothing more than a rag rug.
Jun 17th, 2015 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This Zaninni guy got stuffed on to him by CFK. Its not that he would run with him out of free will.
Scioli is kind of CFKs and Maximo's Medvedev. The guy that keeps the seat warm for 4 years.
With Zannini (aka Saruman) as Scioli's running mate at least Argentines know what their options are:
Jun 17th, 2015 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 04 more years of K regime, that is: ultra-corruption with full impunity, cepo, no economical growth whatsoever, inflation in 30 - 50% range or more, more poverty, more violence. Argenzuela.
4 years with Macri that will be painful, since there are no manoeuvring possible, but will likely put Argentina on a course that is much better than the current one. I don't expect Macri to do much with the corruption, though. He's just as corrupt as anyone else among the Argentine political elite.
What a whore Scioli is. A stupid, spineless whore. No wonder his wife (Rabolini) f*cks around.

Jun 18th, 2015 - 12:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0”No wonder his wife (Rabolini) f*cks around.”
I can only imagine. There must be some juicy gossyp in those high leagues.
Unfortunately most people have no idea who Zannini is, the guy has kept a very low profile despite his position of power, so he won't hurt Scioli's image at all.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 12:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least if Scioli wins it will be the Ks who will suffer the consequences of their own policies.
@1 it's me

Jun 18th, 2015 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Scioli wins, we'll all suffer the consequences of their own policies.
Agree with @13, the prospects are not any better with Macri. Do you really think Karina sleeps around?
Well..., well... well...
Jun 18th, 2015 - 05:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can see that most of the Argie right wing Trotskyists from Mercopress are present in this thread...
For them some words of wisdom...:
As El Think said about one year ago..., Mr. Scioli seems quite certain to become our next democratically elected President...
As El Think also said about one year ago..., Mr. Massa was nothing more than an efemeróptero...
The nomination of Mr. Zannini as Vice- President will most certainly have a consequence...:
The continuation of my boy Kicillof as Economy Minister!
Think is happy...:-)))

Jun 18th, 2015 - 09:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The mix of Italians predominately from the south with the Spaniards and mestizos in Argentina created a their infamous “Viveza criolla” mentality. Chile and Uruguay have some similar traits, but fortunately far less.
24. Stop talking crap you know nothing about Chileno pedorro y cagón
Jun 19th, 2015 - 02:45 am - Link - Report abuse 025CabezaDura2 . . . Hablas como un argentino, común y corriente. ¿Naciste en los desagües de La Boca, de la capital argentino, no?
Jun 19th, 2015 - 03:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0You talk like an Argentine, from the gutter. You were born in the sewage outflow somewhere in La Boca, a Buenos Aires slum, weren't you?
So good to see the disarray, both in this forum and among the Argentine opposition.
Jun 19th, 2015 - 07:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is an excellent president-vice formula.
Most in this board think electors are blind; what really happens is, with 20/20 vision, they have learned to separate the wheat from the chaff.
The problem for Macri is, he cannot disclose his real agenda or even his grandma will vote for somebody else. After the latest polls, he has made some attempts to appear as distancing himself from the corporations--but it appears so fake it's painful!
Instead of fighting over the last bag of beans, as hateful yankeeboy hoped, it seems Argentines are more united than ever around their true representatives.
It is no wonder that Enrique Massot supports the selection of “el Chino” Zannni, after all he was a founding member of the “Vanguardia Comunista” in the 1970's. The only good thing about that group was that they did not take up arms against the rest of us as did ERP and Mononeros.
Jun 19th, 2015 - 02:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any way with Zannini as VP it will be Cristina “al poder”!!!!!!!!!!!

Jun 19th, 2015 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It doesnt matter Scioli is not moving much away from the 30-32% Macri is just round the corner. In a second round he is bound to get a bash and the hard line kirchnerist are very disappointed that Randazzo was not put in place.

It matter little who the next Prez will be. The Ks have set this economy up to implode soon after CFK is out of office.
Jun 22nd, 2015 - 03:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Another $15B was pushed into the economy over the last 2 week, the depreciation is gaining steam even if its not showing up yet.
I can't wait until middle class housewives are street fighting over the last bag of bean in BA.
I will laugh and laugh
