France’s far right National Front sent shock waves through Europe tonight after leader Marine Le Pen made it into the second round of nation’s presidential elections, according to exit polls.
The hard-line anti-immigration candidate stormed into the final ballot to face centrist independent Emmanuel Macron.

I’d love to jump for joy, but it’s not over yet. She has another election to go through. And this is France. Too many socialists. Too many leftists. Too many of them don’t seem to care whether they are Islamized.
Very disappointing showing for Le Pen, to say the least. The pathetic establishment child Macron will be the next French President...a disastrous, suicidal choice for the idiots who inhabit that nation.
CNN is starting in with the Russian influence on LePen nonsense.
Tune it in
Saw on twitter that Fillon is putting his support behind Macron..well gee I thought he was a “Moderate” moderate means left winger in France apparently
Lafayette is held in high regard here in NC, I’ve always been proud to share a birthday with him. The first town in the United States named for him was Fayetteville, NC.

Cool. I grew up in Wilmington and graduated from NCSU and lived in Cary/Raleigh for a long time. Here in Cincy, my wife makes NC pulled pork bbq in our crock pot.
I have not been to France in a while but perhaps this is la raison I have kept my passport current....
Lafayette Park, adjacent to the WH, testifies to this. I saw a documentary on him, he was definitely more American than French.

MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN
What were you expecting?
There's all the proof you need!
The left is only described as “Progressive” even though everything they do is “Regressive”.
France has been suiciding for a long time.
Why stop now?
“Very disappointing showing for Le Pen, to say the least”
Are you on Drugs. What are you talking about?
This is a MUCH tougher head to head than the Donald faced.
We shall see.
“Did Obama phone another candidate before or after this election?”
“He did! lol... Obama phoned Macron on Wed.”
Seems like if a dem or liberal wants to lose an election in the USA or out of the USA, they will if Obama or Bill Clintoon supports the soon to be losers.
Polls show Le Pen with zero chance of winning the runoff.
