France Versus France

The French primaries has reduced the field to two presidential candidates; rightist Marion Anne Perrine "Marine" Le Pen and ex-socialist centrist Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron. Neither has ever worked a real jobs. Marine Le Pen has been a lawyer and politician, while Macron has been a functionaire his entire career. The French press and world media have excoriated the National Front leader as a populist demagogue. Macron failed to ignite the 70% turnout of the French electorate who gave him a mere 23% of the vote to Le Pen's 22%.

More of the same from him.

Marine Le Pen promises to protect France.

She lives with a common-law husband.

Strangely Macron is married to his ex-teacher 24 years his senior.

They met when he was 15.

Bonne Chance.

France versus France.

No one wins in the end.
