The Guardian: 'Maduro would beat Jesus': Venezuelans lament rigged system as election looms
Many fear dirty tricks will keep the unpopular president in power, but the opposition is urging people not to boycott Sunday’s vote
After denouncing Venezuela’s food shortages and hyperinflation in a speech ahead of Sunday’s presidential election, the opposition candidate, Henrí Falcón, sat in his campaign bus, sucking a throat lozenge – and chewing over his predicament.
Falcón ought to be the favorite. He’s up against Nicolás Maduro, the deeply unpopular and increasingly authoritarian president who is seeking another six-year term despite leading this oil-rich nation into its worst economic crisis in decades.
Yet Falcón is the underdog.

WNU Editor: If Jesus was running in the Venezuelan election, the same fate that has resulted in major opposition leaders either being jailed or in exile will also happen to him. Everyone knows that the fix is in .... and here is my prediction .... Maduro will win with a popular vote in the mid to high 50% .... or higher .... even though 90% (or more) of the population will be going to bed tonight either hungry and/or they know someone who is. Another prediction .... this election will be the final straw for millions of Venezuelans. Expect the exodus from Venezuela to double or triple in the coming months, and the countries that border Venezuela will either be closing and/or restricting their border crossings to Venezuelans.

Maduro is not wrong in wanting socialism.
They just have to get the right combination or right flavor.
Any campus commie will tell you that.
Their excuse is that socialism just has not been done right, but the next time will work. They just have to tweak it. ....more re-education camps, more death squads more something.
So I suggest we seen a time with varying talents to tweak the socialist experiment.
We'll send Sean Pen, Danny Glover, and Bernie.
Heck just send 2/3rds of Hollywood or 2/3rds of the Democrat Party.
again, you babble non-stop...address issues like health care, college debt, slow death of middle class, horrible infrastructure and tell us
how Conservatives (having given up on being deficit hawks and balanced budget) will fix things instead of being school yard snarky kid
Fred,
I did address the issue. I called out unrepentant socialists, unrepentant communists and unrepentant Democrats on the carpet.
These same high profile celebrities and Democrats advocate of socialist polices in the U.S. and they go overseas and extol socialism.
Now that socialist experiment 18.0 is all but failed, let them stand in the limelight to some questioning.
We know that won't happen. While the excrable Sam Donaldson will run after Reagan and pester him with questions with the intent of trying to make it look like he is running away, no such reporter will give Danny, Dean or Bernie the same treatment.
Fred,
The slow depth of the middle class is due to the DemoCRAP party being anti-Industrial, AGW religious fanatics and because of all the donut holes they create by cost shifting.
The Democrats cost shift until the Middle class screams because of the donut whole in health care, education or housing and then they want to take it over 100%.
You should try renting a place to live. There is one price for the 'poor' and a price 2 to 3 times higher for everyone else.
So let's say you Democrat voter gets a subsidy. The government pay 80% or 90% of the rent. Too often the Democrat voter welshes out on paying the the last 10% or 20% because the tenant refuses to pay. This after SNAP, earned income credit and the housing wealth transfer among other things.
You Fred are the problem.
