So Mélenchon is (understandably, imho) refusing to give direct voting directions for the second round. However, as he is "the candidate of the people", he launched an online consultation to let his supporters chose what the "official" stance of les Insoumis will be: Macron, null or abstention. From what I can tell, you only need to provide an Email address, a name and a postal code to participate, which seems stupidly open to abuse...

It's also not helping that Macron seems to be making a bunch of blunders at the moment. Case in point: he announced that he's going to visit a factory that might close in Amiens. What it means is that he's meeting with trade union reps at the local chamber of commerce. Meanwhile, Le Pen is making a surprise visit at the actual plant: https://twitter.com/BFMTV/status/857191851316715525 "When I heard that Macron didn't intend to come meet these factory workers, on this picket line [...] I thought it was a proof of... So much contempt for what these factory workers are living, that I decided to stop my strategy meeting and come see them." Macron's reaction? "Mrs Le Pen is haranguing political activists on a parking lot": https://twitter.com/BFMTV/status/857193286372651009  Edit: Like, I do prefer Macron to Le Pen. But holy poo poo, if he keeps doing poo poo like this, he's actually going to manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Kassad fucked around with this message at 12:44 on Apr 26, 2017 |

On second thought the debate might be a good idea just so that she has a full blown meltdown, because if anyone can gently caress up a 30 points lead it sounds like the french center-right can.

Her name is because her mother married someone named Samuel Maréchal. (And cuckholded him with a Mossad spy because lulz.) It's just a coincidence but don't worry, she's been nicknamed Marionette (puppet) and Maréchal-nous-voilŕ (title of a Pétainist anthem) already.

Is it worse for Macron to go there and promise that their jobs are safe (doubt they would be pleased with anything else) or not get involved in something he can't win? Hollande sort of did this with a foundry in Floranges during his campaign and it wasn't good. He is a banker so gently caress him though.

There's good money in it. Make the country an all-you-can-eat buffet for bankers for the next five years, and reap the benefits once you're out through the talking circuits, consulting and all that good good stuff. Unless things get so bad they precipitate the fall of capitalism, he'll get his rewards in the end.

Do I believe that the nightclubs in Belgium as a rule are high boots pooping-fests? No. Do I believe that there is a nightclub somewhere (perhaps in Belgium) where everyone wears boots and poops on the floor? Absolutely. EDIT: Probably not in Europe though. That's got to violate some kind of code.
