He did a disservice to Mexicans through spewing hatred against women, gays, political parties, and Mexican political institutions. He did a disservice to Roman Catholicism, his religion, by acting as a caricature of so many of the evils the church has been criticized for: intolerance, narrow mindedness, misogyny, homophobia, downright authoritarianism, and so much more.
This weekend, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez of Guadalaja held his last mass. He will be officially replaced by José Francisco Robles Ortega in a week.

AMLO and PRD walking the walk on unity
It may be merely a facade, and a temporary one at that, but it nonetheless does raise an eyebrow to see this picture:
That is AMLO with PRD President Jesús Zambrano, appearing together for a campaign event in Caborca, Sonora. It is remarkable, given the long animosity between AMLO and Zambrano's social-democratic party faction in the PRD, Nueva Izquierda. When it comes to AMLO's talk of a "loving republic," he seems to be not just talking the talk. If only for appearances, that's at least something.
(For the campaign events, AMLO also drew in two popular athletes, cyclist Ana Gabriela Guevar and boxer Hernán "Tyson" Márquez.)
