In 15 years of following Brazil, I have *never* been as pessimistic as I am following a week in Sao Paulo. Open clamor for military "intervention," politicians frozen, CRAZY ideas circulating in society at-large. Bolsonaro rising. More here: americasquarterly.org/content/brazil…

I don't know any Brazilian political analysts who think Marina can win in October. But she keeps polling well and would easily beat Bolsonaro & Alckmin in 2nd round. So why not take her seriously? Is it group-think? Sexism? Her last-minute 2014 collapse?
