And yet you don't seem fond of Hillary Clinton because? lol.


Because she can't accessorize.

Lel. I remember a few years ago the french wee chastized as pussies by many americans for not going to do war with the us against "bad guys". The dudes that offered you lady liberty, taught you a lesson on democracy.

I'm old enough to recall their denial of F111 overflights to attack Libya.

Still, their independent 'force de frappe' was a very interesting wild card during the Cold War . . .

Well hope all goes well in France. I'm going there in September to visit Paris. At least there will not be any leftist rioting in the streets, and I doubt the right wingers will be out in force.

The US state department has issued a travel warning for all of Europe this summer. Not surprised.

Uhm... That's because this is Europe, not 'Murrica - pretty much everyone's views on economics are "right there with Sanders". Or rather - that's where Sanders got his ideas from.  If you think this is something special - you have no idea what you're talking about. 

The "considerable opposition to Le Pen" stems from the fact that she's a neo-fascist and a nut-job. Not that misogyny isn't a thing, mind you, but if you think she lost 35% to 65% simply because she has a vagina - you're out of your mind.

Yeah - you have no idea what you're talking about.
One of the main reasons for Brexit is isolationism - if May (or whoever wins the election) tries to sell the idea of joining another EU to the half of the country, that voted "Leave" - they will throw a fit. France has a large - and growing - population of Muslims and - in the minds of Leavers - they all want to cross the Channel and settle over here. All the while - the other half of the country would be mortified by the thought of joining ranks with someone like Le Pen. Your idea is a non-starter, at least until both UK and France end up in some deep financial, or political crisis - and even then it would take years for isolationists to drop their naive ideas of "independence".

So were Hitler's, right up until he got into power. Nazis always use that trick.
