Now it's official. The biggest looser of the #CDU will become chancelor of Germany. Biggest looser of his party you ask? Yes. He tried to win against Angela Merkel, and lost. He then tried to win against Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, and lost (and she wasn't at all popular and a name you probably forgott if you've even heard of her). And he tried to win against Armin Laschet, and lost (and he wasn't at all popular as well and a name you probably forgott if you've ever heard of him).
But, as the German saying goes: "grease floats on top". And finally, he managed. Germany will loose four valuable years of progress, once more; but hey, at least the rich will get richer again.
And we can only hope that he keeps his promise to not work with the #noafd - let's see what happens, once the hard exploratory talks with the parties and their followers that he - just a day ago - was still insulting - will conclude. It's them - and only them - that he can work with in a coalition, if he doesn't want to break his promise...
