1. I do like Correa

Morales (Bolivia) is Constitutionally barred from running for another (4th) term, but he has stacked his courts (Supreme Tribunal of Justice) with sycophants who allow him to do whatever he wants, regardless of the constitution. And he wants to run again... despite a referendum that showed the voters of Bolivia do not want him to run again.

And Maduro (Venezuela) is even worse. He has taken over as dictator. There is no constitution any longer. Only the revolution.
