If you asked him during WW2, or somehow revived him and asked him afterwards? Without a doubt, the one who's not a daughter of a nazi.

*Against German domination of Europe
*Friendly with the Russians
*Opponent of the "money changers"
*Very fiscally liberal
*Friend of monetary sovereignty

Le Pen, easily.

More seriously, FDR was probably too much of an internationalist to vote for Le Pen, but his fiscal and monetary priorities do line up better with Le Pen than with Macron here. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did go Le Pen in this election.

This combination of words does not mean anything.

Obviously FBM. He might not think much of him in private, but he's the obvious natural choice for people of his social background and basic outlook.

The one who defended Nazi collaborators during WWII and is the daughter of a Nazi sympathizer, obviously.

Oh yeah FDR was also a pretty staunch internationalist and free trader too. This question is fundamentally ridiculous.

This is the most incoherent, nonsensical thing I've ever read.

Also, who can forget FDR's positions on the MS. St. Louis and Japanese internment? Le Pen man by nature, if forced by later circumstance to change course.

I think why ShadowOfTheWave supports Le Pen is pretty obvious

That was a long time ago, almost a decade in fact. I was upset and said horrible things after that election because I was upset that black people were voting overwhelmingly for Obama over Clinton, which I presumed was because of race. I haven't used that word in years (and had actually forgotten I ever did). Nevertheless, it was awful, and I have removed it.

I'll have you know I voted for Clinton last year over Trump (the Macron of that election) and I have conceded that I would possibly feel differently if I were actually in France. I've have simply read the positions of the candidates and don't see what is more appealing about someone who is centrist at best on fiscal issues. But again, I don't know how I would see Le Pen if I was more familiar with her, I'm not exactly entrenched in French politics.

Le Pen. He was rather nationalistic and pro-immigration restrictions, as well as generally having similarly populist views.
