I agree with that . The recent international developments perfectly play into Merkel ' s ballpark . Her strategy to getting reelected has always been You know me , you know what you get . She represents stability . And with everything going on , I think people around her really want some stability . I hope the SPD doesn ' t throw away their chance with Schulz and instead put Gabriel on the line . I really want this fucking hack gone already . But what I ' m guessing is that they ' ll burn Schulz this election and next election , when Merkel won ' t run for office anymore , Gabriel will step it . Because I can absolutely see the SPD making a comeback after this extremely long CDUera . Just please . not with Gabriel . he ' s like a secondtier Schrder , with all the ego and maybe half of the competence .
