I wonder if TMBOA will 'break in' to the broadcast by Macri like she does on everything else that embarrasses her?

The debate, as the rest of the campaign, will be a good opportunity for candidate Mauricio Macri to clarify what he stands for and whether he really intends to withhold Kirchnerist approach towards the vulture funds, as well as measures such as the Universal Child Allocation and the nationalization of Aerolineas Argentinas, YPF and others. He may also be able to elaborate on his lofty goal to reach “poverty zero” in Argentina.
Be interesting to watch.

The reason this happened is because Scioli unfortunately stated “he wants to seek reconciliation with all the countries of the world”.

I know for a fact this statement lost him 64.3% of the under 30 vote.

Argentine youth do not want relations with EVIL foreigners who want our complete destruction. We want SAKOKU. And if we are going to get this ridiculous “partnership with other countries” (which will bring our doom), we might as well pick the one who is a PRO (pun intended) at this school of thought.

The candidate in the next month who states he will continue the purge of foreign elements in this country, and continue blocking all free trade, and not apologizing to anyone (since its the other countries who must apologize to us), will easily win.

Cordoba, Santa Fe, and Mendoza are confused provinces right now. I'm not.

Let vote for the stupidest poster.......2 or 3?

IS that you whole focus for Macri Quequi? Tell me, what is that poor population in Argentina?
Should the entire campaign be only about the poor? Or should the president be a leader for all?
We all know he will not make zero poverty a reality because his plans involve work and you expect the poor in Argentina will choose work over handouts?
Your rants from 6500 miles away in support of a bumbling moron will soon be coming to an end. Your group lost the lower house and lost the largest populated province in the entire country.
As for you tobi, you still cannot identify locations in Mendoza, I suggest you ask your parents who took you out of Argentina long ago when you pissed in your diapers. You really should return because despite the peronistas, most of the country is pleasant and the people are usually pleasant, maybe someday you will experience it.
Speaking of Mendoza, how is the Uco Valley walnut business going? I hear they finally got their exports out the door ? The cememnt shortage in Mendoza must suck for construction, no? At least the garlic acreage is down 14%.....must have smelled awful!!! At least no vampires.

Visit some day Quequi and Tobi
