Exit polls show baseball-loving nationalist who counts Jeremy Corbyn as a friend is set to become new president.
A baseball-loving left-wing nationalist who has vowed to crack down on corruption, rein in Mexicos war on drugs and rule for the poor has been elected president of Latin Americas second-largest economy, exit polls suggested on Sunday night.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a silver-haired 64-year-old who is best known as Amlo and counts Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn among his friends, was set to be elected with 49% of the vote, according to a poll conducted by the El Financiero newspaper.
López Obradors closest rival, Ricardo Anaya from the National Action party (PAN), received 27%, the poll said, while José Antonio Meade, a career civil servant running for the Institutional Revolutionary party, or PRI, which ruled Mexico for most of last century, came in third with 18%

We either have a nation called America, or we don't. The next few weeks will tell the tale, I believe.
I’m glad he won.
Makes it easier to build the wall now.
The rest of Mexico’s population will be arriving in the USA shortly........
It is called the United States of America.
“The rest of Mexicos population will be arriving in the USA shortly........”
According to the Democratic Party, it belongs to them anyway.
Time to take a 1 mi. [or as needed] free fire zone on the south side of the border.
This it it! Trump’s poll numbers will tank now, I tell ya!
“It is called the United States of America.”
Not for much longer, quite possibly.
It hasn’t been for some time.
Here comes the wall. Anybody who thinks this clown can outsmart Trump is a fool.

Right on both points.
This Mexican Marxist is going to for the wall what Obama did for gun sales and DJT knows it.
People have no idea how much of a gift to us this clown is going to be.
“Here comes the wall. Anybody who thinks this clown can outsmart Trump is a fool.”
An ‘Emergency Defensive Construction’ under the color National Defense?
Oh geez, lose the pessimism at least for now!
I’m no hero worshiper but DJT is the right man in the right place. If he can have Little Rocket Boy eating out of his hand, then Pres. Trump will lay down the law to AMLO.
If AMLO threatens to send a million Mexican surge against our border, Trump will reply, “Go ahead, make my day. You have just guaranteed my reelection!”
Build that wall pronto!
“””If AMLO threatens to send a million Mexican surge against our border, Trump will reply, Go ahead, make my day. You have just guaranteed my reelection!”””
Only if he stops them. If they come across the border the end will be hastened.
I think AMLO will evolve over time, and he may wind up actually being pals with Trump before it’s all over. People will say anything to get elected, then do an about face once they face the reality.
The status quo sure as Hell wasn’t working.
This is bad news for Mexico but great news for those who want real border security. I expect President Trump will be tweeting about this soon enough.
the plan of the Democrats has always been to give California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to Mexico. It will divest the US of 2/3rds of it’s economy, and force the rest to give in to communism to survive. That will include slavery. Slavery is a Democrat institution.
