Please do your research! MLP is a national socialist, a big government statist who believes in the gigantic welfare state, is anti American, anti capitalist. She has no real plan to run France, no plans for fundamental structural change that is needed.
Sarkozy has a far greater vision for France, and the intellectual wherewithal and a spine of steel to implement it, and deal with the problems France and western civilization are facing.
I have done my research. First, in Europe, you can say the same thing about most of the parties, even so-called Conservatives in the UK. The welfare state exists everywhere in Europe and has the strong support of the populace. Le Pen is no more of a statist than Cameron.
Second, it is commonplace in Europe to attack nationalists as neo-Nazis. The rise of nationalism can be directly attributed to the failure of the EU. Resistance is growing to the bureaucracy in Brussels that dictates rules and regulations that trump sovereignty and the will of the people. The recent migration crisis has reinforced those feelings of frustration and anger. The free movement of people within the EU has allowed terrorists and unwanted migrants to enter their countries. Germany can invite millions into the country, but other countries don't want them transiting their country.
Third, the National Front is not against capitalism per se, but it is against unfair trade agreements, globalism, and the EU. Marine Le Pen has advocated that France should leave the euro (along with Spain, Greece and Portugal). She also wants to reintroduce customs borders and has campaigned against allowing dual citizenship. Jean Monnet laid out the failed vision of a United States of Europe. Europe is now faced with the problems created by the implementation of that vision via the EU.

He had his shot. What did that achieve?
