Will the DR Legislators change the constitution to allow Medina to make another Presidential run? I certainly hope not. He has had mixed results in his term. The biggest mark against him is the Odebretch scandal. This happened on his watch and it can't be disputed. That alone should give you cause for concern. Politics and corruption seem to go hand in hand. It's time to move on and let someone else lead otherwise the Dominican Gov will continue to be like a tag team match where the government is simply handed over despite an election taking place.

Who? Does not matter, they are all the same. All of them.

danino is possibly the lesser evil. who else could represent PLD? only leonel the lion, we all know the other candidates are premature foeti. PRD is already dead and tossed into the trash bin of dominican history and even if it wasn't it would be represented by crybaby vargas who is as popular and welcomed as syphilis diagnosis. from PRM the only viable candidates are hippo the horrible and abinader who is a blancmange of dominican politics. no one else even stands a chance in the presidential race.

Sad but true. Also might be the reason Ramfis is so attractive to many. Not a career DR politician 

Please listen to the video by Alejandro Fernandez on business deals and swindle to the Dominican Republic carried out by L. Ramfis Dominguez Trujillo in the Dominican Republic.

Also take note that the 2015 Dominican Constitution impedes him for running for President. He is a US citizen. To run for President a period of 10 years needs to have passed from his no longer being a US citizen to opt for being the President of the Dominican Republic.

Can you imagine trying to Drain the Dominican Swamp? :eek:

Leonel attempted to do a partial drain in his first term, but the real bosses of the DR straightened him out in a hurry. I would take Leonel over Danilo any day. Leonel is a crook, but Medina is a crook that wants to be a dictator.

so danilo called for emergency press conference today where he called for approving open and simultaneous primaries:
https://www.diariolibre.com/noticia...studiar-proyecto-de-ley-de-partidos-LE9879184
Una amplia mayoría del Senado de la República aprobó las llamadas primarias abiertas y simultáneas con el padrón oficial de la Junta Central Electoral (JCE), decisión que merece mi sincera felicitaciones, ya que esta es una modalidad de elección de candidaturas mucho más transparentes y participativa que el modelo vigente, el cual está sustentado en padrones electorales internos que gozan de muy poca o ninguna credibilidad, a lo que se agrega el hecho de que al interior de los partidos políticos no existen ya mecanismos confiables ni interlocutores válidos para dirimir los conflictos que se generan en los procesos eleccionarios internos.

interesting that the ones supporting open primaries are danilo, hipolito, vargas and aristy. ha ha ha ha. so very telling.

Yeah, there's a beach I want to sell you in Punta Cana, Boca Chica, Las Terrenas, Samana or maybe La Romana? The Dominican Swamp is way too deep to drain. This is over 500 hundred years of corruption brought to you by the Spanish and Cristobal Colon.

I see Dominguez Brito has quit his Ambiente Minister job to run for president. Dolores, do you have an opinion about him?
