Macron wins French presidency by emphatic margin: projections

Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France on Sunday with a business-friendly vision of European integration, defeating Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist who threatened to take France out of the European Union, early projections showed.

The centrist's emphatic victory, which also smashed the dominance of France’s mainstream parties, will bring huge relief to European allies who had feared another populist upheaval to follow Britain's vote to quit the EU and Donald Trump's election as U.S. president.

The 39-year-old former investment banker, who served for two years as economy minister but has never previously held elected office, will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon with a promise to transcend outdated left-right divisions.

Burn France.

I have no sympathy for you.

Liberalism has no sense of self preservation.

Can’t save that.

Don’t forget, Hillary did win the Popular Vote.

We were that close to the end of the Republic.

Good luck France, you’ll need it.

So in other words, France goes pansie once again. They’ll be crying to President Trump for help when Islam atacks.

She never had a chance with the French people, who would rather perish than fight.

We should remember that the muzzies will have a formidable force of 300 nukes, too, once the takeover is complete.

The French are not ready to come into the light and be free once again. Nothing new but one can always hope...

I guess this means I get to double down on my use of the phrase “shaking like a French soldier.”

After watching my own nation elect Clinton and Obama twice, I’ll cut them some slack.

To me it looks like the French are deep in the heart of “self-loathing”.

Good luck France. Good luck Europe.

It's not time...yet.

When the change comes, it will be swift and the people will vote for the candidate that promises to keep them safe.

Those candidates will make Le Pen, Trump, etc. look like Mother Theresa.

The left should take little solace in this victory.

Great. France has been living under an official “State of Emergency” for 18 months due to the Islamo-fascist terror onslaught, and their response is to elect this dandified Mama’s Boy tied to the apron strings of his classmate’s mother???!!!

Leftards truly are consumed with a mental disorder.

“When the change comes, it will be swift and the people will vote for the candidate that promises to keep them safe. “

Napoleon, Napoleon III, Petain. A mixed bag if there was ever one.

Something tells me the next guy isn’t going to be nice nor diplomatic.
