The French voter is not as stupid or gullible as the tRUMP supporters were.
Trump is no Le Pen. Le Pen is a raging right wing nut case with more than a dash of David Duke thrown in. Trump is a moderate conservative. His main failing is his lack of experience and his temperament. But his political positions are more or less centrist - especially since he took office. While I am disappointed that Americans could elect Trump, I would despair if they could elect a Le Pen.

Doesn't have to be if he would do his job IF he were to be elected by...I don't know...KEEPING THE FRENCH PEOPLE SAFE!
You actually think creating a police state will keep people safe. How'd that work in Paris during the 90's.

1. She didn't recount the states with the closest results. She picked the ones with the closes results that Trump won.

2. One of the recounts didn't even happen. And yet, no one got their money back.

3. She collected far more money than the actual recount fees. And kept raising the goal every time it was met.

How could anyone vote for that idiot who said that the French will just have to get used to living with terror attacks. White flag pansy. Yeah, don't DO anything, just sit back and be part of the establishment.
She's backed by Putin.. just as Trump was... So I have to assume You back Putinism and Oligarchy control of his fake Democracy. He got called out by Hillary back in 2011.. and Putin never forgot that... thus any dissenters got mysteriously killed .. so won in re-do.

I get it now... Putin, and any other Dictator in sheep's clothing is FINE with you...

I do hope you all who believe in this stuff better watch your investments. Why? Because the rest of the free world is against ya!! $$ can only go so far.. when investors/Wall Street back away from majority of global support for such behaviour in the market.. LOOK out... My advice.. stay balanced.. protect your investments or one may need Government Assistance Ohhh.. Go to CASH.. I heard mattress are good for saving $$ too.. LOL

Ironically from what Europeans say, she is very left wing economically. There is a lot more to her than "ban immigrants" that most people don't know about, and it would be hilarious if all the alt-righters vote for her only to get caught off-guard by the left-wing economic reality once she comes into office. But then again, single-issue voters are not very logical

How do you guys actually allow yourselves to keep getting fooled by the same Putin control non-sense over and over again? Have you ever even tried thinking for yourself?

That's exactly the way the left does it's thing. The only time they get riled up is when a) you disagree with them philosophically and b) you are not a minority. That's when the ovens get lit.

As for the French, in general, they are now living with their (or rather their government's) stupid choices. Hopefully Le Pen can delay the complete collapse of the French culture and heritage, which by the way, is a huge part of our own even though many of you love to crack jokes about the French in general. Assuming you are mainstream America, half of your language is French and many of your traditions are French. Having the French culture obliterated by invaders from the south is not a good thing. I'll bet Islam hasn't been so orgasmed out since the conquest of Spain. Only thing is, I'd doubt the French (or we, in a few years) will have the balls to expunge them as the Spanish finally did.
