Pretending to be presidential is still pretending

[borisxbg]

I really don't understand how anyone will want to vote for Le Putin. It makes no sense. If you wanna live in a country like Russia, just go to Russia. Don't make your democracy another regime state.

[basiladnan]

Her knowledge is limited and her plans can't be realized, so she will have no choice except to be rhetorical and offensive to hide that, just like she did in 2017 .

[jatindhingra]

Service to your own country is more important

Another right wing populist in the heart of Europe in these times of crisis would be fatal.

You people, if you weren't ill intended and a joke to objective journalism, I would say that you haven't the faintest idea of what far-right is, but since you are a propaganda channel, I'm not going to attack your intellectual integrity, just your moral one. You talk about authoritarian regimes all the time when you mention right-wing politicians, directly, indirectly; well one of the characteristics of authoritarian regimes is nation-wide propaganda. Let me congratulate you and your collogues from other propaganda channels on taking it global and brain-washing the world instead. Goebbels could had never imagined this, he would had been envious.

we don't need division in these times. Whatever people see in Le Pen, it won't make their lives any better. Only more polarized.

I like the clocks at each desk - & that they are sitting facing each other. Those who can’t eye contact get smoked out (ahem, Trump). No towering over or menacing the other (ahem, Trump). And great way for everyone to see when someone is constantly running his mouth (ahem, Trump).

[tanujSE]

There will be debate
That need to be answered
And there will be confusion
But management can be done
If it is said, one have to handle it themselves

[JA-qifb]

I'm thinking 'Doris Johnson' .. and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

[chavachang]

Need macro win the president in France

[etieti]

l'm from indonesian suport maron.

[marcleach]

I don’t understand how you can vote macron at this point

[jens]

how can a nationalist be a democrat ? le pen one against Europe, against foreigners, a nationalist in the spirit of Putin. Macron has the opportunity and I hope he uses it correctly!
