Does Lopez-Obrador really want to be president of Mexico?

Yet, my question is this:  Does Lopez-Obrador want to be President of Mexico?  Does he want to become the most unpopular person in Mexico?

Let me give you a preview of a Lopez-Obrador’s presidency.

If elected in July, Mexico will have a summer of huge capital flight.  It will remind every one of August ’82 or November ’94.

By the fall, the peso’s value will drop as Mexicans panic and take their money out of the country.

President LO will respond by saying that he is not as bad as his populism indicates.  He will assure investors that his “populist words” were just campaign rhetoric intended to get votes rather than a reflection of how he will govern.

Foreign investors won’t buy it.  Dollars will flow out of rather than into Mexico!

Mexicans won’t buy it either.   There will be more and more people trying to cross the US-Mexico border.

With a de-facto peso devaluation and zero confidence from foreign investors,  LO won’t have a lot of options to deal with Mexico’s problems.
