Cashola gotta be fleeing the zone asap. They have had more refugee and terrorist attacks than the USA and therefore with the Trump momentum this should be a cakewalk for Le Pen
As they say…got gold ?
Got…… solid, dust and paper…..lol
However–
I have seen a posting elsewhere by a Swiss Francophone whom I believe to be highly sophisticated in French politics if rather jaded who suggested that Le Pen’s chances are scant despite her high polling. If you want I can probably dig up her comment, but as I recall it amounts to the assertion that even more than in the US the two largest French political parties have their hands in everything everywhere in the country and thus can cheat and control down to the tiniest thing. (This poster is a leftist but in her commentary on the US elections favored Trump and was 100% anti-Clinton–was just a question for her of Stein vs Trump, and saw Trump as the practical choice–similarly favors Le Pen).
I have little knowledge of French politics but just present the existence of a counterargument from someone who watches closely, thinks Le Pen is extremely popular, and herself would like Le Pen to win.
I suspect the barbarians will commit another atrocity before the elections, which would likely seal it for her.
Whats Not to like there ?
Very unlikely Le Pen will be elected, she is from the extreme right party, and contrary to the US where a lot of mainstream voters and/or business like minded people voted for Trump, this will less likely happen in France. Maybe she will get a lot of anti Eu votes, but her extremist background scares lots of voters.
Trump was a longshot too
David’s slingshot.
