The title of this thread is very accurate, unfortunately. Mexico may be on its way to being the next Venezuela.

If the polls are right, Mexico will elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador president on Sunday, July 1.....
Should he ascend to the presidency as predicted, his radical ideas will spell trouble for both Mexico and the U.S. for several reasons.

Although López Obrador tries to cast himself as a moderate, many of his critics see similarities between him and Hugo Chavez.
Like Chavez, López Obrador is charismatic and promises to bring a “radical revolution” to Mexico. True to his left wing beliefs, his economic plan is all about taxing and spending. He calls for universal access to public colleges, raising the minimum wage and increasing spending for welfare.

The Economist warns Mexicans that “the charismatic leaders who ride these resentments to power are almost always false prophets.” When a false prophet leads a country, both citizens in that country as well as their neighbors across the borders will suffer. Exhibit A is Venezuela. This is why the U.S. should care about the Mexican election — there’s an excellent chance that Exhibit B ends up on our southern border.

I hope you Yanks realize, despite our idiot boy-king, that Canada is still your best neighbor.
