ALMO's a corrupt jackass, but he's a corrupt jackass whose made a deal with the narcos the same way every President in Mexican history ever has been, including people Frum has liked more.

Yes, ALMO is a populist with authoritatian tendencies, because that is broadly popular among the Mexican population.

On the Orban/Trump scale, ALMO's somewhere in the midrange - corrupt, annoying, and not as left-wing as some of my fellow left-wing friends think he is, but not as bad as Frum claims.
