[ApatheticAustrian]

Haha so many leftists who claim Le Pen is a fascist. It's amazing how s*** like this continues

being a close putin ally is good enough anyway.

Wow. France's olds are huge FFs!

[mvd10]

So 70+ voters voted 45% Fillon in round 1 and 78% Macron in round 2? I never knew French elderly people were massive FF's.

President Trump tweeted his congratulations for Macron.

61-39 Macron with close to 15 million votes counted, we should be over a 40% mark in vote count.

Interesting that the old are very much to left, why is that? WWII memories?

Point 1 - huh, french women didn't care to see the first french woman president? (lol)
Point 2 - interesting that Age sort of forms a curve - "YOUTHS FOR LE PEN" didn't exactly pan out, and olds, faced with two unfamiliar choices, picked the not-Le Pen.

He probably didn't even do it, and he probably was told he had to do it. Guaranteed he's peeved.

Fillon won them in the first round though. Most of them probably are centre-right voters who are extremely scared by the economic effects of a Le Pen presidency. Many are afraid that leaving the euro would devastate their pensions.

I don't really think he cares.

Wonder what Madeleine Albright's take on this is.

But the French youth are solidly Le Pen and women are tired of being raped five times a day by illegal migrants

[rob in cal]

   Trump 2.0 which is trending more like a neo-con interventionist administration would likely rather have Macron than MLP imho.  Maybe not Trump himself, but people like Tillerson, Mattis, Hailey, Kushner, Mcmaster etc.

He supported LePen, so he cares to some extent.

I think "help" in this case means helping Le Pen find mental health resources.

[The Other Castro]

Macron at 61.3%, 92% of communes reporting, and still nothing out of Paris yet.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Wow. France's olds are huge FFs!

LOL no, they are the only ones who voted for Fillon.

Pensions, buying power, old political events (not WW2, Algerian War).
Le Pen is seen as a traitor to De Gaulle and France re Algeria.

[MasterJedi]

LOL no, they are the only ones who voted for Fillon.

Then by your logic they should have heavily voted for LePen but they didn't, voted strongest for Macron.
