German parties set Merkel tough red lines

I find it hard to believe that the German people returned her to office. Granted they knocked the props out from under her, but there she remains.

Congress is full of idiots that get reelected all the time.....nothing new here.

Remember tho that Europe is set up for coalitions. We are not. Didn't have "enough" votes? No problem. Partner with another party. Happens all the time. Then, while counting collective money, ease back into the power-base.
