    I mean it’s right there in the headline. She beat him to the Nobel Peace Prize.

      So they count being morally dead as a disqualifying factor too?

    I wonder what would happen if they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Putin?

      He’d say it’s well-deserved. It’s a different power dynamic than with Machado.

    Did Trump invade Venezuela because she was Venezuelan?

    The real answer is that she might have ushered in actual democracy. Trump doesn’t want a change of government; he wants to control the one that’s already in power.
