Macri is in a big problem. Most of the people who voted the Ks and the left-wing will vote for Lousteau rather than Larreta in the second round, and if Larreta loses Macri is toast.

and he has a good chance of getting UDI and a future independent state

just like Cordoba Province...lol

Yes!! Macri is just another junkie. I certainly envision “Lousteau 2019”

This is really funny, Briton supports Larreta. Paul calls the rest “stooges”. Then Briton comes back and calls everybody else “stooges”. Not a single clever argument from the both of you.

Briton supports no one,

one if one feel the UK should break up,

But not by living next to them, that's toooo close.
