Marine's own niece is more true of a French patriot than her aunt is. I wonder when something like this happens in Germany? Its happened in Poland,Hungary,Austria pretty much all across Europe its happening except for the 2 worst cases. Germany and England.
I bet if Germany and England had elections in a few weeks they would also follow this course. Merkel's (spelling?) popularity is in the dumpster and Germans have seen the writing on the wall as far as taking in unlimited refugees.

I would sure hope so! Problem with Germany is there doesn't seem to be 1 party that can take her on...there is the NDP there is Alternative For Germany that's the 2 I know of....I know Alt for Germany is gaining in power and NDP seems to be pretty maxed out I wish the Pegida movement would turn into a political party

In 2016, the Democrats won't have Obama at the top of the ticket to inflate their turnout. Hillary or Bernie just won't excite the left wing base.
Possibly.

I am not 100% sure.

Right after the Islamic Terrorists acted in Paris there were Democrats openly stating at work that letting in Syrian refugees was insane since ISIS was trying to infiltrate it.

After Hillary and Obama dug their feet in, they seem to have changed their tune.

This is just the beginning of a new, world-wide right-wing revolution. We've seen it in Israel, Japan, the UK (thought too liberal there), and India. Now in eastern Europe, and spreading westwards throughout that continent. And finally, it's reached the Americas, in Latin America, and soon to come to the USA when President Trump enters the White House.

Keep in mind that this party was also heavily financed by Russia. No joke. But they really do hit a lot of the fear buttons with their anti-immigration stances. Very heavily anti-EU,, should make for some interesting times.

The National Front is always described in the media as "far-right". Any European political party that opposes mass immigration is given that label by the establishment media: The Danish People's Party, the Sweden Democrats, Alternative for Germany, Lega Nord in Italy, the Freedom Party in Austria....the list goes on and on. Most of these parties support the traditional European welfare state. None of them have small/limited government points of view like the Republican Party has in the United States. Many if not most of their supporters are working people who formerly voted for various Socialist parties. It is only their opposition to mass immigration that makes them "far-right" in the eyes of the political/media establishment. Why is that so? Why is opposition to immigration the one and only thing that cannot be tolerated by the elite?

The National Front is a populous political party that believes in protecting French workers and citizens and supports the welfare state. There is nothing "far-right" about that.

How is Hillary a decent candidate?

If she were a male not married to Bill, but the rest of her resume intact she would probably have dropped out of the race by now with no support.

She is a corrupt liar.

Is this being attributed to problems with Islamic immigrants as in France, or were these wins for entirely different reasons?
