So do you think the Socialist’s can still win?
If the runoff will be Sarko/LePen then the race is already over.
Hey! Impy
I think there are two people who benefit from this: Sarko and MLP.
I think the Socialists are well rid of DSK as a candidate. His history was well known and was bound to surface in the campaign. He is also terrible at retail politicking, and his ties to the IMF & International banking, wouldn’t help him in this election.
IMO the Socialists don’t have a really good candidate, and they have blown it and disgraced themselves in their disgusting defense, racist, sexist, misogynist defense of DSK.
MLP has now aligned herself with the anti-capitalists and Statists, the closest thing to Fascism we’ve seen. She is far more dangerous than her father ever was, and a much smarter, shrewder politician.
The merger of far right nationalism and the leftist anti-capitalist, (anti-liberale), economic agenda is called Fascism. A term the French are uncomfortable with and are afraid to use when describing MLP & her movement.
IOW Still way too early to tell.
