In Colombia, they did it!
After polls and media accounts had indicated that FARC-linked leftist Ivan Cepeda could win the first round of the election, voters went and handed the tough-talking conservative the victory.
That was a stinging rebuke to Colombia's ruling leftist party and its odious president, Gustavo Petro, with voters giving them the boot and replacing them with a firmly, pro-Trump, pro-private sector, anti-crime conservative, who, worse (for them), seems to be on a mission to end the scourge of leftism forever.
Abelardo De La Espellier, known as 'el tigre' won the first round of the presidential election Sunday, by a decisive 44 percent over his far-left rival, Ivan Cepeda who drew a mere 40 percent, much of it from the west of the country where FARC Marxist narcoterrorists threaten residents to vote for FARC-friendly Cepeda, or else face retaliation.
The remaining candidates came from mostly center-right parties and most are expected to transfer their votes to Abelardo in round two on June 21, which could make the margin very big indeed. Betting markets say that Abelardo has an 80% chance of getting elected president.
