Doesn't matter, the left is imploding. The UDF is now smack in the center of the political spectrum. (This is after the socialist candidate rethemed herself in ways centrist and "authoritarian" enough to make the BBC break out in hives). Between le Pen and the Gaullists, the right is half the electorate on its own.

French is trending right, that is the message. Germany already did. The left is pushing so hard and screaming so loud, they don't notice who they are alienating.

Keen observation.

Although le Pen is rumored to be coming out for Royal in the runoff. He will announce his choice on May 1.

Endorsing a Socialist? I don’t get it.

Hopefully, Damascus Nancy and the rest of the Donks will continue to emulate the Eurotrash on this side of the pond.

I wish I could share your optimsim Jason C, but I know leftists very well, they cling to power the way a vampire clings to a fresh neck.

France needs a house cleaning, not from a US perspective but from a goodwill towards France perspective. I would not like to see them slip below the waves of obscurity due to socialism.
