I sat and watched N-24 news this AM.....the German commercial news network.
The general hype over the political spectrum? Mostly related to the CDU Party, Laschet, and the downward path ahead.
They focused on three key issues:
1. They dumped a fair amount of blame on Merkel and Laschet for the 'deplorable' situation of the CDU Party. Whatever policies or agenda items drawn up over the past five years....are attached to Merkel entirely, and the leadership of the party is convinced that only a pro-Merkel minded person (like Laschet) is the only path ahead. In simple terms....the journalists are dumping on the whole top level of party leaders.
2. Laschet is now given an impossible task of making Soderans (the Bavarian CSU politician and his 'groupies') happy. If this group isn't enthusiastic or hopeful for the future....then their lack of enthusiasm will doom the CDU efforts in September. There's literally no job or 'honor' that Laschet can create for this problem.
3. It's hard to find any political expert who sees a positive way forward for the CDU Party.
The best way to compare this trend? It'd be like a soccer club that has traded away their best player, and acquired a two-star guy in the exchange. Then the management of the club blabbering about having winning potential while looking like a marginal two-star club.
