Trump was never, at any point, anywhere near 24 points behind Shillery

True ... but is it possible that the race is tighter than the polls indicate? ... that perhaps Macron released these e-mails as a way to invalidate the results should La Pen somehow win?

True or not, one of these days a batch of emails is going to result in a lot of people dead. You can’t keep tweaking the noses of 1%ers and career politicians with more connections than a telephone bank and expect them to never do more than whine and threaten lawsuits.

There might come a day when there’s some sort of overt reaction, but to date it appears that the strategy is to ignore to the extent possible and discredit to the extent that it isn’t. It all sounds rather made up to people who aren’t very politically involved and part of the opposition.

“Election is on Sunday and Le Pen is far behind in polls, “. . .

I don’t give much weight to polls, as we saw in the Trump election, everyone was convinced Trump could never win and the polls proved it.

And the media and polls in France are working hard to ensure Le Pen is not elected and warp coverage and numbers.

Much like Trump election, I strongly suspect the media and polls are ignoring the rural voter who has had enough of “refugees” and the crime and filth they bring along, and the media and polls are likely very much over-sampling the demographics that favor the idiot.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe she will win.

Macron just pulled the Deplorables punch: running arond the twitterverse is footage/quotes that he called LePen voters ‘enemies of France’ and other HRC-type stuff.

well, trump wasn’t as far behind as marine. and I don’t know if the French have a mechanism love,e the electoral college that can be shrewdly worked by smart people. and, france is clearly not the united states.

in addition to brains, electing a populist takes nads.

>> She wants her people not to be over run be an invasion of 3ed world immigrants. Her opponents are inviting them in. Who gives a damn about economics in the face of that? <<

Hmmm. Well, let's just say it mattered A LOT in 1930s Germany.

There were free market, conservative Christian parties in Germany opposed to hordes of third world immigrants, and then there was the National Socialists opposed to hordes of third world immigration.

Guess which party won?

No question about it. Le Pen is by far the better choice. It’s a matter of survival. Macron will mean the destruction of yet another country.
