Comment: Mon cher ami.  I watched the debate and I heard Le Pen speak in person when I was in France last year. It is amusing that she is labelled as "extreme right" by the MSM and the politically ill-informed.  Along with Melenchon, the leftist candidate who lost in round one, Le Pen is the only major candidate who defends  France's social welfare system and its labour laws. That is not the stance of anyone who is "extreme right". The ugly head that was reared is that of globalist former bankster for the uber-riche, Macron, who will impose austerity measures on the French working and middle classes if elected. It is also worth noting that Le Pen has gained significant support amongst traditionally left-wing young voters who not only suffer massive unemployment, but who also see no hope of gainful employment in the future in spite of their academic qualifications. Their lot would only worsen under Macron. If you wish to see real ugliness, take a close look at almost any globalist politician.
