France 2017: Results Thread

[Devout Centrist]

So far from what I am seeing on French twitter, people are liking Macron's wit and calmness. Dislike Le Pen's aggressiveness and lack of policy.

Well that's a good sign, Anglophobe Twitter is full of goddamn morons and that unemployed British fuck.

[Barnes]

So far Le Pen is a total disaster.

This whole debate feels like that!

Although Le Pen did get some jab about not being a teacher and a pupil which I chuckled at; Macron also said voters aren't as stupid as Le Pen which remains to be seen. Ha.

[ApatheticAustrian]

pure personal shootfest, but surely entertaining.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Le Pen needed a good debate performance to gain atleast some traction before Sunday. It's the complete opposite. She's a total mess.

[Devout Centrist]

Holy shit, she's just rambling at this point. This is a total disaster.

[Devout Centrist]

This is hilarious, unless the translator is botching this, I have no idea what Le Pen is talking about.

[TheSaint250]

It's funny listening to this with the English translation because the translators are struggling to catch up and you just hear a bunch of yelling in French.

"How will you pay for that?"

"Immigration.....the EU......"

[Kringla Heimsins]

Marine Le Pen is in full left-wing mode. She said all of the money they were discussing belonged to the French, who are the only one who create wealth, and that she wanted to give it back to us. She almost said "Labor is entitled to all it creates".

Overall, she's pretty bad and lacks actual propositions.

However, Macron is bad as well. MLP asks all the questions and Macron is stuck with answering and always defending himself.

This will probably go down as the worst debate since 1974. They can't even agree on basic facts.

Finally, the rest of the world catches up with the United States!

I don't know if the translator is bad or what but Le Pen is not making sense.

[Tender Branson]

The translation is really crappy.

What was that "motherhood" and "children being left to die on the street" thing about ?

Oh it had to do with the commercialization of surrogate mothers.

Yeah, this has been quite the train wreck it was expected to be. Too bad we can't have this classic television anymore!

Is America becoming more like Europe and Europe becoming more like America?

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

[Kringla Heimsins]

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

None of us all.

[MAINEiac4434]

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

Macron.

[Tender Branson]

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

Macron is holding up well and LePen is only appealing to her base and not much beyond.

I guess Macron will easily bring his 60-40 lead over the finish line.

[Devout Centrist]

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

Macron, Le Pen is all over the place. He's not doing a sensational job, but at least he's on point.

[parochial boy]

The people of France are very definitely losing

[Mike88]

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

Macron, by a long shot. But the debate is very weak... Unfortunately you cannot have a real discussion of policies with people like Le Pen.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Significant that, even after Dupont-Aignan's full backing for Le Pen, 59 per cent of his supporters won't back her in polls.

Le Pen has apparently lost her mind for 15 seconds. Insane moment.

15 seconds? She's looked pretty unhinged for the past 20-30 minutes to me.
