Chavez mounted a coup

[Skippy33]

and fucked up Venezuela. Maduro succeeded him and fucked it up even more. He will likely be ousted or assassinated. Who do you think will replace him?

1. God-given Hair*

* a/k/a Diosdado Cabello

2. Are you talking about

an unsuccessful coup to hide the FACT that he was democratically elected?

[GatoGordo]

3. Chavez led a coup in 1992

OK for Marixist to lead a coup, but not anyone else?

[GaryCnf]

5. A coup that failed

And for which he was sent to prison. In other words, he did the crime, but he did the time too.

His rise to head of state was through democratic means.

The suggestion to the otherwise obscures the fact that Chavez rose to power because the vast majority of the PEOPLE of Venezuela, i.e., the POOR people, elected him to end the murderous oppression inflicted upon them the puppets of big oil, etc.

6. How's it going in Venezuela these days? nt

7. Those who bellyache the loudest about Chavismo democracy

don't have a peep to say about how Chavismo is quashing every effort aimed at the current democratic elections.

A Chavista TSJ (Supreme Court) seated illegally after the AN (Congress) elections
The same TSJ preventing honestly elected representatives from being seated
A Chavista CNE (election authority) preventing a recall election
Maduro cancelling local and regional elections
Maduro calling for a an extra-Constitutional "Constituent Assembly" (to re-write the rules for Chavismo benefit)
Civilians illegally arrested and never charged nor released
Civilians tried in military courts without representation

But heaven forbid that anyone forget that Chavez was elected.

4. The Cubans will make that decision.

Very likely Delcy, Diosdado or Hector.

Tarek... meh.

8. I agree

Cuba has many strings they can pull
