Le Pen, who rails against "uncontrolled globalization", hopes to channel the same nationalist, anti-establishment sentiment that propelled Trump to the White House and spurred Britain's vote to leave the European Union, and become the first woman to lead France.

You would think Hillary would like to see Marine ‘break through the glass ceiling’ in France.

I likened her to Trump almost from the beginning.

So too the Philippines' Duterte.

There seems to be a global push against the ist evils in the world (communist, fascist, socialist, etc.)

Mme. La Pen isn’t “far right”, she’s barely centrist. Oedipus Macron is off in the looney left with Friedrich Engels ...

Well I hope she has better leadership skills. The prez cowering in the corner while the Dems get the cash they demand is absurd,

Why? Is he scared? Is he just like ivanka and his personal history suggests.. a big lib? Bill n hill pal?
Did he invite any freedom Caucus members to his wedding? Or is he, a Trojan horse?
