Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming Muslim refugees to Germany has been a real boost to the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party. That rightist party has to continually fend off accusations of neo-Nazi attitudes.
To do so they've picked a leader who, like Merkel, is a woman and a scientist. Unlike Merkel, Frauke Petry has a thousand watt smile and looks about as threatening as Audrey Hepburn. Smart move.
