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 Frances 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previously held elected office, will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon with a promise to transcend outdated left-right divisions.

Our Founding Fathers had it right with the electoral college. Without it, California and New York would have stolen the election with illegal votes.
France is Islam’s bitch...time to cut off all foreign aid, since it will just go into the coffers of the moslems.
France is cooked: the ultimate French Fry.
France is very close to 10% Islamic. 20% and Islam manifests into something that will never be stopped. Twenty years or less with a 7 to 1 birth discrepancy native French will be the “minority”. The last patriotic French will try to save it to no avail and France will rot and burn. Maybe the EU will send peace keepers.
Geez r we givin A-D 2 France?
This is what happens when french Rinos with an idiotic following disavow the like of Lepen. Totally ridiculous.
Now the Germano-French caliphate can take place, as Hitler dreamed it! And thanks to those on the right believing the leftist blackmail on her being a pro-hitler fascist, oh irony.
The collabos win by denouncing “war” with Hitler.
I met a woman this last fall who had been living and working in Paris and had moved back to the US just a few days before. I asked her if things had become dangerous there and she said that was the reason she had left. Just too unsafe.
Congrats France, now you have your very own Obama.
This last week his views turned into a marshmallow Holland clone.
“France is gone..and that would have been America had Hillary Clinton won!”
*There is an article on Drudge from the Weakly Standard about how the judicial system in its resist Trump mode is creating fake justice. This is significant because (obviously) its true, but also because the Weakly Standard was one of the most virulent anti-Trump sites, and it seems to be dawning on them in at least some ways that there is NO middle ground.
If you are against Trump under these circumstances you are on the side of jihad, mass illegal immigration, the destruction of law, American decline, and overseas intervention with NO strategy.
The mystery is why it took these douchenozzles so long to come to this conclusion-at least one writer. Kristol and his ilk have contributed to putting the whole nation at risk by not rallying around its duly elected leader.

Au Revoir France.
France is, and always will be, a toilet.
Are those based on legitimate results though?
65% seems way too high.
The French are below the ancient Greeks in civilization.
They still will not repent for the murders of the Revolution, never studying their history seriously and their past civilization as decent Greeks would, but even the decent Greeks were unreliable snowflakes when barbarians came in, letting the Romans do the civilizing for them.
It is as if after the Caliphate they will all impore America or Putin to do the civilizing for them! I could see free Kurds going there while the descendent od Charles Martel will look on in shame in total emasculation.
The french Rino party has a strong following of idiots disavowing Lepen.
We need to clear our Rino swamp asap
Pajama Boy Macron is a Socialist and was a Socialist government minister. He only left the French Socialist party when Hollande became so unpopular. I give him a year before he is similarly unpopular.
That’s what I’m wondering... when the final count is 54-46 AND the Macron scandals print tomorrow, what then?
Russ L said Macron is actually a hard core leftist...and that Le Pen is less “right” than the French MSM claims.
Plus the USA-style vote fraud and public info suppression done better.
You know, there are crime bosses who would not be in prison today, if they too, like Clinton worked hard at, hide/suppress evidence of their crimes.
France doing what it does best - surrendering.
