Why Marine Le Pen is confident she will be Frances next president

[DavidDvorkin]

She has called Macron her “ideal” adversary — Macron is relatively inexperienced and without the infrastructure of an established party, and despite running as an independent is nonetheless widely seen as a continuity candidate of the deeply unpopular government of President Francois Hollande.

“A runoff between a patriot such as myself and a caricature of a diehard globalist like him is ideal,” Le Pen, the leader of the Eurosceptic and anti-establishment National Front party, told the AFP news agency on Jan. 17. “It’s a gift.“

To be sure, the sharp-tongued and gravel-voiced Le Pen has also spoken dismissively of other candidates.

But when it comes to Macron, she is not alone in assessing his perceived weaknesses as a candidate. Nor is she alone in believing that her anti-Muslim party, with its rich record of anti-Semitism, raw nationalism and xenophobia, is closer to the presidency than at any point in its history.

2. Why Marine Le Pen is confident she will be Frances next president.

Pretty sure she's confident because amongst other things, she'll have that contemptuous, murderous weasel putin in her corner meddling in France's elections like he interfered in our elections.

6. Bin Laden is still winning

He helped set this whole hysteria into motion - gullible people will ensure that we don't let the boogie man go until we're on the verge of world war, if not beyond.

8. Is Red Don and Pootin behind her too ?

9. expect Putin to put his thumb on the scale, too

anything less than overwhelming rejection leads to a Le Pen presidency - possibly with extremely narrow margins, but that's all they need.

Putin is getting very close to destroying the EU, NATO, and the USA, using the strength of our democracies against us. if i weren't involved on the losing end, i could even admire his masterful play.
