It was a curious political weekend.
First, from the CDU-CSU side.....Armin Laschet and Markus Soder took swipes at each other.....mostly over ever appeasing the Greens in the election (Soder) or heavily dumping up the Greens (Laschet).
The angle? Soder knows with the current CDU agenda (Laschet as the Chancellor candidate)....the Greens will win the election. Laschet believes if he can condemn the Green 'brand' enough.....he'll cut their lead.
Second, Annalena Baerbock was a guest on the Anne Will Show (ARD, 9:45 PM, Sunday night).
Blazing away for twenty minutes....Will (as moderator) did her best to intimidate Baerbock. Even though other guests were there.....that was twenty straight minutes of 'torment' dumped on Baerbock. She seems to have done well, and not screwed up.
Will doing a favor for Baerbock? Maybe. I think if you had doubts over Baerbock holding up for the campaign....that 20 minutes of intense questioning put away doubts.
