Unlike Argentina, Ecuador has already dollarized its economy under a previous conservative wave. That has kept the country from going the way of Venezuela but it still has major problems, such as crime and the influence of Mexican cartels who took out the last conservative presidential candidate. (Notice that in his campaign-trail pictures, Noboa is wearing a bulletproof vest).

With crime that front and center, it means Noboa's going to need to go the route of El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, throwing them all in jail on the double just to make the place liveable. If Noboa can do that, his country will be in good shape and safe for free markets, growth, and prosperity.

“Obviously, the election was about ideas, not personalities, given the handicaps Noboa had as the son of a banana baron and a late entrant to the presidential race.”

INCREDIBLE - A guy like Trump in that he never had to worry about paying his bills STEPS UP and takes over for a guy who just got knocked off by the Neocons*. Now Ecuador will have a conservative government willing to bang heads against our Communist leaders.

(*no, I don’t have a link, but I wouldn’t put it past the Neocons, it’s their style)

I’d add the governor of Louisiana as well.

“Jeff Landry has won the race for Louisiana governor.

Landry secured the most votes in Saturday’s crowded gubernatorial race, surpassing 50% of the vote.”

Seems everyone is wising up except us, well we do have a broken election system, so maybe the wise are not being counted.

Electing a conservative as a new president is a good move to stop the blood sucking socialists.
