The Winner of the French élection ?

[Dalia]

Seeing Hamon on television last night shows how strong he can be. Le Pen doesn't stand a chance with him. Only Macron could give him a run for his money in verbal exchange, but Hamon could still better him.

What i like the most about Hamon : c'est qu'il est un frondeur/ Is that it is slinger
But he is not doing very well in the poll

Hamon gets very little media coverage. I don't understand it. If the election were in America, people would be saying it was a plot. Fillon is in the news every five minutes, negatively as it turns out. Le Pen a little, but she is using her situation wisely; she isn't stupid (just not fit to be President of a major power). Macron is everyone's idol, their handsome hero. Insubstantial, never elected, surprisingly uninspired message, yet all are under his charm. All the ideas put out are old, tired and failed. Only Hamon offers anything innovative, and, so, possibly successful.

Fillon is a crook to me and they don't talk about Hamon because Macron is the dolphin of Holland that's why he's in front of the stage.

The Le Pen family has made a good living off the right-leaners. They are a lot like the U.S. televangelists; find your population percentage, tell them what they want to hear, go to nice dinners and collect money.

The Opinionway poll showed Le Pen scoring 25 percent in a first-round vote set for April 23, with Emmanuel Macron on 22 percent and conservative Francois Fillon on 20 percent, which would put Macron into the runoff against Le Pen. Macron then would beat Le Pen 66 percent to 34 percent in the two-way runoff, according to the same poll.

France doesn't have a RW propaganda machine like Fox etc so Lepen has a 40% ceiling- Macron seems like the survivor.

The French médias you could not compare it to the American médias it is no good...here Marine is the devil and they talk against her all the time style CNN with Trump

And they're right. Not the devil part. This kind of crap goes on when the GOP wrecks the world economy- like Hitler and Japanese militarists in the 30's. Our media is pathetic. GOP BS on Fox RUSH LIMBAUGH etc etc and corporate cowards everywhere else...

That's why there are so many lib fools there.

The real fools are here, the RW dupes who vote against their own interests, for the pander to the greedy rich GOP. France has #1 quality of life, health care, day care, best for retirement, etc.

Enjoy the giant tax cut for the rich, dupe. Lepen isn't as RW as Trump. She was just on 60 Minutes, sounded great. Raise benefits for regular people. "Burkas on the beach aren't France. Brigitte Bardot is France". LOL.

 

[miketx]

There has been no tax cut. Tell us more lies please.

 

[francoHFW]

Lepen

There has been no tax cut. Tell us more lies please.

That's the only promise he'll keep. You heard it here first.

 

[miketx]

Lepen

There has been no tax cut. Tell us more lies please.

That's the only promise he'll keep. You heard it here first.

My how you adapt. First you say there is a tax cut then you say he will give a tax cut.

I said ENJOY THE TAX CUT for the greedy GOP rich...

 

[miketx]

Have you been drinking? There is no tax cut.

 

[Toro]

62% think Le Pen will win.

And whiners think this is a liberal site.

lol

Je ne sais pas.
Mais j'espère pour le meilleur.

After the terrorist attacks in France that have changed their approach to guarding their borders
and cracking down on terrorist threats, I really felt America owes a lot more to France than just
"a song" in friendship.

France gave us the gift of the Statue of Liberty which celebrated the alliance between our
countries during the American Revolution (but may also represented the
influence of France in supporting America in ending slavery, as earlier designs allegedly referred to).

Now that the focus has turned to terrorism and the desire to end this scourge,
is there a way that America can return the favor and create an artistic gift for France.
Has this ever been discussed? Could we plan something and ask input of artists
to collaborate on something that would be a gift back to France as monumental as the Statue of Liberty has been for America?

 

[there4eyeM]

Le Pen will not be President. The lackey of the powerful, arrivist Macron, most likely will make it. Hamon just doesn't get the necessary support.

Bonsoir, It is true that the friendship between France and the United States has deep roots.
France : Like the Marquis De Lafayette
Lafayette's real introduction to America came at a dinner on August 8, 1775, when the young Marquis came into contact with the Duke of Gloucester who spoke with sympathy of the struggle going on in the colonies. With thoughts of the "romantic" American cause, glory and excitement, Lafayette made plans to travel to America. Realizing his plans would be disapproved of by the King and his family, Lafayette confided in his friend the Comte de Broglie, who in turn introduced him to the Baron Johan de Kalb. Both men were seeking to travel to America and after several delays, the two men set up a journey across the Atlantic with written agreements from Silas Deane that they would be commissioned major generals.

"Lafayette's baptism of fire" by Edward Percy Moran. c. 1909
When Lafayette learned of the struggle of the Americans in their endeavor to secure their independence he resolved to come to the colonies to aid them in their efforts as a volunteer. He also persuaded several French officers to come with him. Eventually he landed near Charleston, South Carolina, June 13, 1777, and when the leaders learned of his mission they welcomed him very hospitably. Later in the summer he came to Philadelphia and the Congress welcomed him as he came to serve without pay and also as a volunteer. Since he represented the highest rank of French nobility and his motives were so patriotic in the American cause, the Congress commissioned him a Major General on the 31st of July. Later in the summer he met General Washington and a friendship developed between the two men which lasted as long as Washington lived. He was not even 20 years old! During Lafayette's life he never forgot the great American. Lafayette was a member of Washington's staff and during the Battle of the Brandywine, Lafayette participated in the closing part of the battle when he was wounded. Later in the autumn he rejoined the American forces since he had recovered from his wound.

What I regret personally of France sometimes is the lack of thanks to the united states for the liberation of France in 1945 after landing in Normandy my favorite place in France.

All the polls make her loses to the second round, But if fillon is put in exament the 15 of March it is really cooked for him, if Macron is tapped on by the Russians, they have hacked its mails already, Si Marine itself is pursued by its Business to her, and well Hamon as a chance after all?
In any case, this presidential election is taking shape that the least worst (bad) will win the race, la mise.
And that the misfortune of some is the happiness of others.

True, because for the second round those who lost in the first round told there supporters to not vote for Marine Lepen at the second round.

Actually, the gratitude they show is wonderful. Next time, the Allies should go thru Italy and Austria and wreck German allies, not France. What's missing is American witness of French gratitude and absolute ignorance of the French basically winning the Revolution for us at Yorktown.I'll say it since the French are too diplomatic to do anything like it. -FrancophileHFW.
