(12,166 posts)Gosh you sound like you know so much about this......except Lopez didn't run for office, Henrique Capriles did and he only lost by 1%, how is that "lost big time". And to say the former Caracas mayor from 2000-2008 can "never" get elected sounds a little silly too.
I keep hearing what a RW fascist Lopez is because he went to school in the US.... yeah those Ivy league colleges, what a hotbed of RW fascists...lol....seems he also worked as a social activist working for "grass-roots judicial reform".
"He studied at the Colegio Santiago de León de Caracas and graduated from the Hun School of Princeton. He graduated from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio in 1993, where he received a degree in Sociology. He subsequently attended Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government where he obtained a Master of Public Policy in 1996. In 2007, he received an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from Kenyon."
Degree in Sociology and a Master's in Public policy.......sounds like a good background for public office. Certainly sounds better then "bus driver" or "paratrooper".
