Prediction: Le Pen wins. Not looking forward to it, but the rest of the world follows America's lead. She's effectively been running since Bush was in office.

@IvanKaramazov: what do you give me if she looses by over 60% ?

IvanKaramazov

A hug. Everyone was predicting a massive Hillary victory too. Polls in France have shown a lot of people may well simply not vote, in historic numbers. Discounting those polls because you're on the side of the establishment is beyond stupid.

@IvanKaramazov: yeah well usa and france politics are very different

IvanKaramazov

Didn't stop France from massively cutting their top tax rate after Reagan got put into office, or the French judiciary from killing Hollande's reforms after he got into office. You're myopic, pure and simple.

hollande is/was a joke
and what you said its not the voters

IvanKaramazov

We'll see if your confidence in the rationality of the voters is justified in a couple weeks. Me, I've never been so ridiculously optimistic.

so you dont want to bet anything but a hug

IvanKaramazov

Of course not. France is weird. In the midst of neoliberalism, they elected Hollande, despite your condemnations. God knows what they will do.
