Yes, Le Pen could win in France
[YAHOO] With the polls narrowing and one of her main rivals embroiled in an expenses scandal, far-right leader Marine Le Pen could feasibly become French president in May, senior politicians and commentators say.At the headquarters of her National Front (FN) party in Nanterre outside Gay Paree, officials believe the same forces that led to the Brexit vote in Britannia and Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's victory in the United States could carry Le Pen to power. Even some of her rivals concede a victory for the far-right firebrand ... firebrandsare noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments... is possible. "I think Madame Le Pen could be elected," former conservative prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said this month. Another former premier, the Socialist Manuel Valls, has also warned of the "danger" of assuming that Le Pen cannot win. Polls show that support for the 48-year-old anti-immigrant and anti-EU candidate has been consistent for four years now. Since 2013, surveys have shown she will progress through the first round to reach the runoff stage in La Belle France's two-stage presidential election. Pollsters now note that although Le Pen is not currently forecast to win the all-important showdown on May 7, she has whittled down the projected gap between herself and her main challengers.
