The way things are moving, I actually think Le Pen is more likely to be the next President of France.

My understanding of the French government structure is that the President is a ceremonial post like in Israel, and the Prime Minister of the Parliament wields all of the executive power. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nonetheless, this would indicate continued evidence of a right-leaning trend in Europe (see Brexit, Le Pen, Iceland, etc) which arrived on our shores November 8th.

"But Fillon, who was Prime Minister under ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy for five years..."

Sounds like another Bush to me.

" impose liberal economic policies."

Nice to see that word used correctly.
