Is Dilma Rousseff Alienating Allies?

Brazil's president, Dilma Rousseff, is facing impeachment over charges that she borrowed money from the state to fix budget holes. Now she is accusing her rivals of creating chaos in an attempted coup d'etat. However, many analysts say that Rousseff's personality and work style have driven away her allies, many of whom she has verbally berated in public. A trial in the Brazilian senate could begin in the coming weeks, and many analysts say that it could lead to her removal as president.
