Temer won't get anyone elected.

"All presidents since the creation of reelection have run for and been reelected. Temer thinking about being reelected is delusional. Temer choosing his successor is another matter," writes columnist Alex Solnik; "The power vacuum, the suspicion that he could fall at any moment, and the conviction that if he is, anyone can be, explains the proliferation of presidential candidates. A re-enactment of the multiplication of fish from biblical times," he adds.

The year ends with a terrible realization for the politicians who ousted Dilma from power and put Temer in her place.

It was sold to the country – by them – as the hope for a better world, but everything went wrong.

Temer not only conspired against the president who elected him; he conspired and continues to conspire against the entire country.

And he surpassed Eduardo Cunha in the category of the country's number one villain.

This explains his overwhelming approval rating of only 3% among Brazilians.

And it still remains to be said who they are and where they live, because nobody knows them.

Every president since the introduction of reelection has run for and been reelected.

For Temer to even think about running for reelection is delusional.

Temer choosing his successor is another matter.

The power vacuum, the suspicion that he could fall at any moment, and the conviction that if he is, anyone can be, explains the proliferation of presidential candidates.

Dória thought that if São Paulo had consecrated him with such a stupendous vote, Brazil would have no choice but to say amen, but he was sorely mistaken when people realized he preferred to travel instead of taking care of the city.

With Dória ousted, the right wing, which doesn't bite, decided to place its bets on a Globo presenter, a puppet of Armínio Fraga and his cronies, a hybrid of Aécio Neves and Silvio Santos.

The formula didn't work in 1989, but they never learn.

Now it is Henrique Meirelles who is presenting himself as a candidate to continue the agenda of destroying what little remains of the country.

I don't know where he got the idea that any Brazilian wants him as president of the Republic.

Who knows him?

Who would vote for someone who has only harmed and impoverished the majority of the population?

What did he do in government besides increase the number of unemployed to 13 million?

Temer certainly won't get him elected, but for someone who fluctuates between 0% and 1% in the Ibope polls, the support of someone with 3% cannot be disregarded.
