Going to wake up to the news.
It's all going to hell, Le Pen will get the 20% she needs to come even in
Nah.Unless she loses by an insane margin like 50%+ she will still stay as FN leader.Her father got destroyed in the 2002 presidential election and stayed on as FN leader for like another 9 years.What may make her quit politics are the political criminal cases involving the FN right now.She has been avoiding going to court over something kinda similar to Fillon's fake job scandal in the last fews months or so.

Don't buy their natural gas. That'd hurt. Malheuresement, a lot of European countries and their citizens as well....
Le Pen disastrous debate performance will have far more of an effect on the last minute voters than these emails. It is worrying for the future though.
To think, Le Pen is the one refusing to show up to hearings for her party's involvement in the fake job affairs at the european parliament, but Macron is the one under fire. I wonder if all those english alt right twitter accounts know any of that. I also wonder if they'll care about french politics Monday.

Putin is going all in on a pair of 4s right now and he'll regret it soon.
Europe needs to take a tough stance.

This is gold.
I always admired how slick and skillful his entire communication always been from day one. Guess I wasn't for nothing
Someone should translate the french post, this is too good.

Several reactions from the mentioned forum in the post :
"Crikey, you'd think the leaks are going to help Macron : the files show a guy who took care of everything and only focused on having a quality campaign"
"Strictly nothing, it's crazy. With Hillary there were many proofs of shenanigans (...), heavy stuff. With him there's nothing. The guy is 'clean as mountain water'". (French expression)
"I'll start to believe Macron's team leaked the emails themselves to show they're irreproachable and play the victim card"
"I'm not pro FN, but I hoped to find something at least. But frankly there's only stuff nobody gives a fuck about, that won't move the needle with even 100 000 votes"
"you have to admit, if there was something big we'd have found it in 9 Go"

La fachosphère du 18-25 le reconnait elle même, ils ont épluché les dossiers tte la nuit pour se rendre compte qu'EM est totalement clean.
The fachosphere of the 18-25 even admits it themselves. They combed through the files all night long to come to the realization that Emmanuel Macron is completely clean.
Good. What happened with the US press was an embarrassment.
I posted this in the other thread, but it may be of interest here too, given that a few of the posts in this thread repeated bullshit spread by these mechanisms:

And when they do find out certain things about politicians private lives, they seem to admire them more...Hollande and his rating going up after his affair was exposed remains one of the greatest political mysteries. That would be enough to sink a leader in some countries and yet in France it results in poll boost.
French politics is a different breed, you think you've figured it out and they throw in a crazy curve ball.

Because the French are all beret wearing amoral existentialist monsters.
No, I was really just wondering if there was anything incriminating. A lot of the reactions are in line of "oh he's done for" and whatnot, but I haven't seen anything concrete from the leak.
