Some say Fillon is more conservative than Sark, they keep calling him “Catholic” and “Thatcherite”. I’d have voted for him. He was targeted with a fake scandal, disgusting, obviously he was too conservative for them to tolerate. In any case both were more conservative than the a-hole who was supposed to win, Alain Juppe. Of course Fillon has now endorsed Merdehead Macaroon, and a poll shows his voters prefer Macaroon by 41% to 33%, highlighting why LePen can’t win unless something shifts dramatically.
Macron BTW is not an “outsider”, he was the g**damn Socialist party Minister of the Economy. If GD Larry Summers ran for US President as an independent would he be an “outsider”? No.
I have issues with FN and they are not conservative, they’re pro-welfare and protectionist stances are disastrous. But this is not a choice, Macaroon’s position on Islam is for France to remain bent over a table with it’s pants around it’s ankles.
It was a brilliant strategy that the Power Elites have executed. A candidate running as a Socialist could not win, so they had Macron leave the Socialist Party, start his own party, and call himself a “centrist.” After the election, he can either rejoin the Socialists or make a deal with the Republicans, if they are the majority party.
