Last night, off Channel Two (ZDF, German public TV)....ran the Maybrit Illner chat forum show (live). 10:15 PM....late enough that it's a limited number of people watching.
The topic? 'No Resentment, Will the CDU Lose the Chancellorship'.
Mostly journalists, with Merz (of the CDU Party) and Ozdemir (Green Party).
So for about an hour, this chat goes on....with things leaning on the idea that the CDU is guaranteed to lose the election (the Greens now likely to win).
Merz's wisdom? He kinda lays the blame for this 'path' to Chancellor Merkel....she should have been preparing the party and the selected candidate for the situation long ago. There's no 'love' between Merkel and Merz.....I should state that very clearly.
At the end of this 'talk'....if I had been a bigwig out of the CDU Party....I probably would have poured several shots of strong stuff and started preparing myself for 150-odd days of crappy campaigning and the intent to be 'honored-losers' of the election.
On blame? It's hard to say.....I've never seen anything like this theatrical production going on, and the intent or willing nature....to stick with a 'loser'. The Greens? They are probably at the highest 'glee-point' of the past forty years.
If you wanted to watch the show....it's up for a month (all in German).
