Nayib Bukele Poised to Win El Salvador Presidential Election by Historic Landslide
Breitbart ^ | 02/02/2024 | CHRISTIAN K. CARUZO

El Salvador will hold an unprecedented presidential election on Sunday as polls suggest President Nayib Bukele will win reelection by an overwhelming landslide despite the country’s Constitution explicitly forbidding presidents from seeking more than one term.

Sunday will see some 5.5 million Salvadorans head to the polls to choose who will lead their country for the next five years. The country entered a mandatory three-day silent period on Thursday in which no participating candidate or party may issue any kind of political statement or publish propaganda.

According to polls released by El Salvador’s Central American University in January, 81.9 percent of voters intend to vote for Bukele, placing the president vastly ahead of his closest rival, Manuel Flores of the leftist Farabundo Martí National Liberation Party (FMLN), who received 4.2 percent support. Joel Sánchez, of the center-right Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (ARENA) party, received 3.4 percent support in the poll.

Well South America certainly needs help because of the unprecedented election interference from the US. A lot of hurdles they have to overcome.

"This week, radical leftist U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) urged U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to take action against “threats to democracy” in El Salvador. Bukele responded by stating that he is “honored” to receive Omar’s attacks and would be “very worried” if he had her support instead."

This guy is GREAT, and we need to help clone his and Milei’s success through the Americas, including the US.

All the gangs in El Salvador were kicked out of the country and are now in the USA.

No wonder they love him, El Salvadorans finally feel safe.

Bukele’s paternal grandparents were Palestinian Christians from Jerusalem and Bethlehem

Once this gets out there we can expect the standard hate-filled bloodthirsty comments about what some would like to see done to him and his family.

Michael Yon on Twitter/X has posted pictures from El Salvador. It certainly looks like they cleaned the place up.

Michael showed a shopping area that looked nice, sort of like the ones in Eastern Europe. Tidy, stocked, well behaved people and not chaotic but not super fancy either.

As soon as Trump’s in office we need to repeal the 22nd Amendment (two term limit) and then reimpose it when he wants to retire.

Yes, many ran north... Many are unavailable for comment

It must be seen to believe that it is real.

No weight lifting, sports, TV, or individualism. Basic nutrition with enough calories to sustain them and very little time outside a cell. Everyone is shaved. Hand cuffs not needed because prisoners know the repercussions of acting out. None of these guys will leave prison looking like a bodybuilder, and none of them will ever want to go back.

Rehabilitation is a fantasy. Prison must first be punishment, with opportunities for redemption secondary. Carrot and stick.

Glad to see Omar coming out as a communist supporter. Ow we know that she is a Red Diaper Baby due to her father being a MARXIST official in Somalia in the past.
