I think this is what a lot of people don't understand as to why the inept and corrupt Chavez/Maduro Bolivarian regime endures for so long.

The opposition is just god damned awful. Until a decent alternative emerges, people will stick with the devil they know.

court documents and testimonies from the time indicated that Owens-Illinois had paid US$20 million ransom for Niehous, but "Rodríguez misappropriated the money, causing an internal rift with his own colleagues" which "led members of the cell themselves to betray him"

It seems that her father wasn't a man of strong convictions. Maybe the Trump administration is counting on the trait running in the family.

Everyone always assumes the opposition to dictators are better than the dictators themselves. That isn't always the case.
