None of this matters. Le Pen cannot be elected. It is nearly impossible given France’s corrupt two-step process.

We will see, but I think the French have a difficult time processing complex matters due to the confusion caused by their language having a different word for everything

Exactly. Like instead of calling cheese "cheese", they say "fromage". Instead of "hat" they say "chapeau". I mean come on, it's almost as if they have a different word for everything!

I know. It's like those fools who were thinking BREXIT had a chance, or Trump could ever be elected.

No. It's more like Trump, Hillary, Jeb Bush and Bernie all got between 15 and 40% of the vote, but Trump topped them all. Then Trump faced Hillary in the final, and the Jeb and Bernie voters combined to defeat him. That's France.
