The candidate we elected is nothing like Macron. I get what you are (trying to) say(ing) but it's not anywhere near the same thing, and what the French will get is actually what we prevented - when it comes to immigration.
I'll bet the French in Bourgogne, Champagne, and Côte d'Azur-Corse (among others) wish they had an electoral college and Paris wasn't speaking for the whole country.
At least the idiots over there knew better.
But there's one thing for sure, we won't know if the idiot that was voted in will actually help the idiots who voted for him.
France had a chance to elect a Trump-like candidate, but instead chose a rich, white businessman with no government experience
At least the idiots over there knew better.
Yes, education is a good indicator of common sense. Just look at the governors of the Federal Reserve.
* rich : may be he won't be too money thirsty, as he has already assuaged his own greed
* white businessman: he surely must know what will help businesses thrive and what will encourage businesses to hire ( just think of it 15 000$ handout / hired person; 20 that is 1/3 of a million quid).
* no government experience: may be he doesn't yet know how to fleece the taxpayer ( as obviously the Le Pen family has learned to do with the EU-parliament bonanza as judges are now investigating)
You forgot to add: "present well", as more than 70% of Ladies are said to have cast a ballot for him as he "presents well"!!!!
actually doesn't Macron share these same characteristics as Trump ( minus the female appeal) ????
