I don’t think she’ll win this time around, but she will surely win the next time.

I’m waiting for Marion Le Pen, she seems to be the star of that family. Not French Revolution secular like Marine.

Obama has interfered in this election by endorsing Macron.

Bring it! Looks like she’s gonna have to swim upstream and play against a stacked deck; but as long as there is any hope, I’m hanging on to it.

There won’t be a next time—if she loses, France is kaput.

A win doesn’t appear likely. French voters are very different from American voters.

The unelected pigs who rule the EU are involved in this election big time. Given that fact I fear that it's about as unlikely that Le Pen will win on Sunday than it was for Mao's opponent to win red China's “election” of 1967.

If Macron wins, the next election will be won by someone named Mohammed.

IMO electing trump was bigger, because the US is the top dog in the world
Brexit was big, but it still hasn’t happened (the globalists seem to have tied it up)
Le Pen winning would be big. I dont think she will BUT
remember Brexit was supposed to lose as was Trump and we all know they didnt
Go Le pen

If Marine Le Pen wins, its almost certainly the end of the EU, experts say That's why she can't win.
If you think liberals in this country went too far with having the Hillary vote exceed the number of voters in some districts and opening the doors for illegals and ineligible people to vote, you have no idea what fraud means. They will move heaven and earth to keep Le Pen out.

If Marine Le Pen wins, its almost certainly the end of the EU The EU is a fascist construct. Its the 4th Reich, with the same central planning and social engineering arrogance - only now without the S.S. and slightly different social engineering plans.

Why is it that every European politician to the right of Stalin is referred to as “far right”.

Trump winning is bigger. USA is more important to the world than France.
