The election was obviously stolen. LePen won by millions :) ** -- Oregon Hoo 04/25/2022 11:00AM
Macron wins in landslide (59-41). So much for the hand wringing over LePen ** -- wahoo138 04/25/2022 08:44AM
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! ** -- HokieDan95 04/25/2022 09:10AM
A very hollow win when u look at the numbers, but I am thankful nonetheless** -- nyhoo 04/25/2022 08:56AM
It’s a pretty solid beatdown. ** -- SixerHoo 04/25/2022 10:02AM
It's better than De Gaulle over socialist Mitterrand, I read somewhere. -- southdenverhoo 04/25/2022 10:09AM
I don’t really agree with that analysis. The lack of enthusiasm FOR -- hoolstoptheheels 04/25/2022 09:27AM
It is hollow from Macron's POV, not the macro POV you are referencing -- nyhoo 04/25/2022 09:43AM
I agree with that, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Macron -- hoolstoptheheels 04/25/2022 09:58AM
Seems like you’re really searching for a negative angle in a 60-40 rout ** -- wahoo138 04/25/2022 09:57AM
Well, I lived in France for a year under this clown so yes I guess so but -- nyhoo 04/25/2022 10:02AM
You favored Le Pen for France? ** -- HoodatB 04/25/2022 10:25AM
Of course not. But like most who voted for him, I really dont like Macron ** -- nyhoo 04/25/2022 10:30AM
I’ll echo what hools said below. Not claiming this is a great endorsement -- wahoo138 04/25/2022 10:15AM
Far more so than in our country. ** -- SixerHoo 04/25/2022 10:59AM
He’s right in that Macron shouldn’t see it as a landslide FOR him. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/25/2022 09:59AM
Which numbers? ** -- wahoo138 04/25/2022 08:58AM
The LaPen vote + no votes (link) -- nyhoo 04/25/2022 09:02AM
TEE DEE ESS ALLURT!!!!!!! -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 08:51AM
Sounds like France is similar to the U.S. with about 40% Deplorables ** -- Tuckahokie 04/25/2022 08:48AM
There are plenty of racists in France and most places in Europe, actually. -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 09:06AM
...mainly from the taker Provinces ** -- Tuckahokie 04/25/2022 09:08AM
Quite the victimhood complex, are TGV corridor elites as evil as Acela's? ** -- Bacon 04/25/2022 09:16AM
Nope. A lot from Paris and Marseilles. Their outer suburbs actually look -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 09:13AM
The French are snooty to everyone...do those immigrants deserve better? ** -- Tuckahokie 04/25/2022 09:17AM
Ever been there? I found the opposite to be true. Actually found them to -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 09:18AM
Yes, and semi-agree...outside of the large cities is fine. ** -- Tuckahokie 04/25/2022 09:21AM
We loved Paris, actually. Had a great experience all around. -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 09:26AM
That's shocking. Been a couple of times and can't think of a single even -- 81_Hokie 04/25/2022 09:48AM
It was pretty consistent over two weeks in multiple cities, tbh. -- WahooRQ 04/25/2022 10:37AM
First time I went to Italy I was a teen. My group was harassed pretty -- SixerHoo 04/25/2022 11:07AM
