France 2017: Results Thread

[Holmes]

*Bold* prediction: The results are going to surprise us for a reason not yet known.

Bold prediction: polls were right.

[Holmes]

If Le Pen doesn't make it, I'm going to put a hole through my wall

Be it today or in a couple of weeks, that wall of yours will be getting that hole.

[Holmes]

But muh poll herding

[Holmes]

Every time the PS nominates a good person for President, they lose. I guess that's a clear message from the voters.

Fillon will run under the PS banner in 2022 and win.

[Holmes]

How long does it take to get full results? Been stuck on 8 departments for a while.

[Holmes]

Will LePen win any departments in the 2nd round?

Maybe in the north, in places her vote share was in the mid 30's.

[Holmes]

She won African-Americans, Hispanic and Asian-Americans decisively, in primary states anyway. Of course there are large Asian populations in Hawaii, Nevada and Washington but those were caucus states so it's hard to infer.

Where are Muslims concentrated in Illinois? New Jersey? Virginia? California?

[Holmes]

Which one of you wrote this?

[Holmes]

It's par for the course for BRTD.

[Holmes]

 If rumors about FBM having unusual romantic attractions/and or being gay or bisexual gain traction, that might actually reassure some voters on the right, with them thinking that he might be a closet islamophobe because of this, sort of like Pym Fortuyn was in the Netherlands.

🤔

[Holmes]

The new meme that 4chan and r/t_D are trying to push is that Macron has a secret bank account in the Caymans. They're desperate.

[Holmes]

I think it was always Caymans but I'm also hearing Bahamas too. It's so stupid.

[Holmes]

So it turns out the best way to make French people angry is to say that chocolatine is gross. Which it is!
