Élection Française 2017 - Live(ish) Thread

[ABX]

If Fillon loses we all lose. Le Pen is a Leftist nutbag.

THANK YOU FRANK!!!!!

Someone has to say it. She is a Socialist, Globalist, Holocaust Denier, Putin Puppet. I just posted a very disturbing article about her. Other than her view on immigration and Islam, she is even to the left of American Liberals on many issues.

[ABX]

Le Pen is not our ally and she shouldn't be celebrated.

That's a big problem with her. Because she is a bit of a nationalist everyone thinks she is Right wing. She is the opposite.

Fillon was Putin's man originally but there could be various reasons for that and perhaps that is just from some judging it per a campaign contribution.

Sometimes, you have to prioritize and right now, I'm sure what is most important is the war on terror. Vote one's conscience but realize the ramifications as well.

You can see the election live through it. It's quite good.

So basically, the French had the same sort of choice the US had:  Pick one from two liberals.

I can live with that.  And I'm boning up on my French.

Yeah, one must be one of those Conservatives who advanced the cause of abortion and speak against Trump whenever possible.
 

Securing borders, open up drilling, all very liberal principles.

The French like being boned. They are the prison bitches of the Western world.

She isn't predicted to win the main election runoff but surprises do happen.

Depends on who you talk to, Tom.

[Wingnut]

I don't know what the big deal is.   Its just France after all.  They always have shitty leaders.

[TomSea]

Trump has placed a Judge on the Supreme Court that almost all pro-life organizations endorse, he defunded planned parenthood international, the UN population fund, has given states rights to defund planned parenthood.

Those putting down Trump; then, really turned their back on the unborn, vote your conscience but don't expect to not be challenged on points and vice-versa. 

They are the same reasons to defend Romney in '12.

LOL! 
The French are sawed-off sissies who eat snails and slugs and cheese that smells like people's feet. Utter cowards who force their own children to drink wine, they gibber like baboons even when you try to speak to them in their own wimpy language.

Sarkozy's the only one I remember ever being worth a bucket of spit.

True...And what did they follow up with after him.  François Hollande.  A dick with ears.

I don't think a thread about the French Election today is the best place to re-litigate the Trump War.  If I started it, then my bad.

Early results :



MAcron 23.7%

LePen 21.7%

Didn't the polls close about eight minutes ago?

I'm reading some that says this is the result, some are calling them projections. Not knowing how they do the count, I'm not sure these are final or not.

[Free Vulcan]

The other angle is that Melenchon and Fillon weren't far behind. Large bloc of votes up for grabs in June.

Correction: Runoff is May 7, parliamentaries are June.

Marine Le Pen made it into the second round of nation’s presidential elections, according to exit polls.
They better hope France has better exit polling than us.
