    Poor Friedrich Merz… that way, just as he finally managed to overcome the ignominy of his eternal nemesis Merkel blocking his political career for decades, by catching up with her and becoming Chancellor at last, she will yet again move ahead of him and become someone that’ll be greeted before him. LOL!

        This morning, I realised that I even could find a positive spin for Spahn becoming president. Just imagine him being forced in that neutral, non-party, dignified position for a very long time. Instead of meddling in daily politics, he’d be forced to meet heads of state in front of his palace. Instead of establishing lucrative connections with the industry and establishing himself as an important figure in the party, he’d be sidelined to give New Year’s Addresses. It would put a sudden stop to all his ambitions to merchandise himself. His political career would be completely destroyed by becoming the nominally most important man that unfortunately has his hands tied in every aspect he likes to use them. :)
