Outstanding!

A classy job

He wanted the same thing the left is after today.

The only difference is that side is winning now.

Huey Long was conservative? Might want to do a little reading up on your history.

This “Cute young Lady”, could well end up with the title, “Region President”. Equivalent to a US Governor. Like when she went to the French parliament, she will be the youngest person to hold the title. More than just being attractive, which we all agree with, she appears to handle herself well in interviews. I don’t speak French, but a person’s body language reveals poise and comfort in a situation.

Far right? Are you kidding me?

There is no right wing at all. They are all statists.

The sword even has 5 crosses on it !!! You’re good !!!

[miliantnutcase]

I know wtf. For someone in public office that’s pretty close to a 10. At least a 9...

Curious that a female is leading an attempted resurgence of the Nation as a political concept.

In today's western world only a woman can get away with saying what is required to champion traditional values.

That is, until Trump.

Would it not be a delicious irony for Trump and LePen to reprise the Reagan/Thatcher dynamic?

[Cubs Fan]

far right defined - a leader who cares more about their citizens than the invaders who want to kill them.

[Smokin' Joe]

Even in the absence of glamor makeup, she is attractive. All that and brains, too.

[Smokin' Joe]

I pray her eventual treatment is better than St Joan’s.

As in in the US, the press refers to anything non-leftist as “far right.” Marion is way ahead of the field, pulling 40% in a multi-party election, but remains “far-right…..”

I guess when the journalists are sitting in the extreme far-left corner, even center field looks “far right.”

Marion is going to change France. Keep your eyes open.

[cookcounty]

"She is nice looking enough, but she is not supermodel pretty."

Ah but she's got that magical inner beauty that somehow magnifies the exterior. By comparison, the supermodels look "correct" but soul-less. Imagine how disappointing it would be to think you're going to have dinner with Marion, and then they slip in the #1 super model instead. Seriously.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Agreed.
