Politics Trends

 There's a bit of political hype today (the day after the Saxony-Anhalt state election)....that the Green Party 'thrill' has hit the maximum potential and started a downward trend.

The term?  'Baerbach-train'.

Was the loss in Saxony-Anhalt that bad for the Greens?  They won around 5.9 percent....which is better than the last election, but not exactly thrilling.

I think various questions have been thrown at their candidate (Baerbach) and the responses are decent, just not four-star. 

Same problem brewing for CDU's Laschet?  In his case, they've brought up the 17 years he was a instructor on a part-time basis for a university.  Toward the very end....he screwed up in some unknown fashion with the class exam (saying they were all lost in the mail) and rigged up some solution to grade them (there were 28 students in the class).  What he submitted to the school was a listing for 35 'candidates' to get an artificial grade (kinda out of thin air).  

No one says much over how the university viewed this solution, or how this group of seven students came out of thin air.  But this was the last time that Laschet served as an instructor.  

What you get out of this mess is that Laschet might not be that organized.

All of this giving you an impression that none of the three (from the CDU, SPD, or Greens) really thrill folks.
