Spy mentioned Trump, I do wonder if him becoming Prez hurts the alt-right movement in Europe. Europe is known to try to be different than America so having somebody who is close to Trump might be hurting theit efforts.
It seems like the top 2 or 3 opposition to Merkel is left to her. From what I am reading the alt-right party is having a bunch of in-fighting and polling around 10%

I don't see the far-right, or far-left, populists doing well in Germany in national election. Maybe in some local areas and former DDR areas because with UK gone Germany has, essentially, won WWII and now is the controller of Europe, via the EU, especially as some countries go further into debt and need bailouts and technocrats to rescue them. Unless there was some really big 'event' or economic collapse. Say DB fails and a massive terrorist attack or something. But the drip, drip of rape, street level terrorism, and crime isn't enough to motivate a large mass, especially in the face of decades of (rightfully for the older people actually involved or 'looked the other way') national guilt schooling and introspection.
