One push poll put out this weekend claimed the new candidate set to replace Fillon for his les Republicans party, Alain Juppe, would finish with Emmanuel Macron in the first two slots in the first round.
This would put Marine LePen to third place and eliminate her from the second round.
They think they can just put up a new stooge, and that will make the voters care less about trying to save the lives of their families
The French are utterly hopeless.
It’s so bad the Frogs want Obama to run.
Le Pen has no chance. Trump’s unpopularity in France has crushed her prospects.
It seems as though all French Politicians are on the take. I guess they are trying to imitate U.S. Politicians.
Fillon back in November was a sure bet and figured in the final two election. With the note of his wife having a fake-pay type job...everyone soured on the guy. This past week, I noted that several of the big-wigs within his party have finally said ‘enough’ and turned their back on the guy. I looked at the latest poll....the best he can do is 19-percent. Zero chance that Fillon can make it into the final two.
With Juppe, I saw one poll that suggested that he could beat Macron by six to eight percent. At present, the attitude may be that anyone but Macron is the way to go.
Panic in France.
Juppe was not considered at first because his administration is not well liked; that’s why Fillon was running and in the lead sometimes.
Time will tell if the panic induced change in candidates puts Le Pen in third, or if not still knocks her out in the run off.
But panic is what is going on. The elites are scrambling for anything to retain sufficient credibility - more than 30% - in the 1st run of the general.
It seems corruption is as endemic in France as it is in Mexico.
