The CDU/CSU and SPD made many promises to voters. But according to polls, Germans are deeply disappointed with the governing coalition and have little hope that things will improve.
They didn’t even elect him chancellor in the first round; I think that was a first in German history. None of his fellow politicians like him. The only ones who vote for him do so only because he holds power, not because they like him.
He was the third choice even in his own party and I understand why.
And only elected as chancelor in the second round, which as far as I know was a first, so he’s got that going for himself.

Yep.
The best thing Merkel ever did was box him out.
