French election [View all]

If the crazy lady Le Pen ends up getting the plurality during round 1 with let's say her receiving 24%, while the other three major candidates get something like 22%, 21%, and 19% while the lesser candidates get the remainder. Trump and the media will tout this as her winning and a populist wave happening across the world.

But a week ago they were touting that the Democrat lost the GA special election with 48%.
