Gee, what a surprise, “ . . . contrary to what polls had predicted . . . ” How dare the electorate fail to vote the way they are supposed to? The same crap happened in the US during the Donald's first success. Every single 'poll' predicted his defeat, except for one obscure outfit and that one, decidedly left wing at that (good for them). It's time to call those pollsters what they are.

But, but what about poor old Braz & Co, they are going to have a Trump puppet for a President and become the next US economic colony after Venezuela!!!!

Even before Cuba surrenders.

A cut of everything going to the US for being allowed to exploit their own resources.

Poor Braz must be almost suicidal at this point, if Baby Bolsonaro wins the runoff election, Braz won’t be able to show his face on here, he’ll have to go underground, join Terry Fuckwitt in his rancid cellar.

And there shall be much wailing and gnashing of teeth, not to mention Blithering.
