What's The Real Threat Of AfD In Germany?

 So....after all the political commentary and accusations....there is one fundamental issue.

Once AfD gets up around 30-percent of the vote (federal election)....they CAN'T form a coalition (yes, wake-up and simply grasp this reality).

So the number two winner (the CDU-CSU)...with around 22-to-24 percent....gets the nod.   

They (the CDU-CSU) have to go and talk to the SPD and Greens (figure both combined will have just around 22-percent).  This 'deal' chatter?  You have to get to the bottom line of CDU-CSU 'promises' and figure 60-to-70 percent cut/gone. Then you have to sit at a  table where both the SPD and Greens lay out all kinds of stuff that conservatives can't stand. Then you go to the CDU-CSU membership and just say 'suck-it-up' and just accept it.

Then you go through four miserable years where half of the CDU-CSU voters are shaking their heads....hating every single week,  and edging closer and closer to voting AfD next time around (getting closer to that 50-percent level).

This is the Godzilla-like fear that exists with the AfD. It's not 2029 that worries folks....it's the 2033 (or earlier if the coalition fails) election that worries folks.
