    Come to think about it, this is a FRENCH election so it wouldn't be surprising if he wins.

    As Le Pen said "France will be led by a woman. Either me, or Merkel."

    Macron will be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.

    This pretty much guarantees eventual war and genocide in Europe.
    Poland doesn't allow Muslim immigrants and has had NO terrorist incidents.
    I suppose it will be the former Warsaw Pact countries that that will resist the hardest.

    They have willingly leapt into the far-left abyss. Whatever happens to them, they chose it.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    quote:Any other result would have been a European catastrophe and, for once, thank goodness, the opinion polls got it right. Emmanuel Macron has swept Marine Le Pen aside to become France?s next president. Mr Macron won by an even wider margin than the polls have consistently implied: 65.1% to 35.9%. It is the decisive majority against Ms Le Pen?s far-right racist challenge that France needed, and one of the biggest presidential wins in the history of the Fifth Republic, eclipsed only by Jacques Chirac?s victory over her father in 2002. It is also a decisive setback for what has sometimes been depicted as a rightwing populist tide threatening governments across the developed world in the wake of Brexit and Donald Trump?s election. The people of France have inflicted a major reverse on demagogic nationalism. Their country is safer for it. So is ours. So is Europe. We salute them for it. We wish Mr Macron every success.

    Maybe he can find a really, really good big league cabinet to help.

    Those with some political knowledge will watch to see what manner of governing coalition he can manage to assemble.

    Others will C&P mindless non sequitors and biblical verses.

    Very true, Rocky. This is the equivalent of Jill Stein winning here.

    He wont be governing France. Merkel will. I guess the possibility of more terrorist attacks in France does not worry the French as much as You would think[xx(]

    There was a ton of French citizens who stayed home and voted for neither and refused to go The lessor of two evils route.

    And as is always the case, their refusal had consequences...likely not good ones.

    Just as surely, whatever candidate or policy they preferred is no closer to prevailing.
