What is wrong with the French Right, that their runoff candidate is an outright bigot? We went from Sarkozy to LePen, and apparently, the French Right is unable to resist the siren call of insane populism.

the normal right nominated a comically corrupt dope who still managed to score 20% of the vote.

then again, Le Pen is also comically corrupt but nobody cares because apparently if you're mean enough corruption doesn't matter.

The French right has nominated comically corrupt dopes before, and some of them won, so this is a progress. Tongue

Fillon did four times worse than Mr. Comically Corrupt Jacques Chirac Tongue

(acknowledging, of couse, Chirac made it to the run-off)

I'm still annoyed that he did better than him in the first round. Though in fairness, there were 16 candidates in 2002. Tongue
