Insty linked to a very interesting article a couple of days ago, about how the French middle class is finding itself in much the same boat as the American middle class--the French upper class is replacing former middle class workers with immigrants, which is changing the face of the country. This is who Le Pen is playing to:

This is the same as the Dems going the diversity route, and dropping its traditional American working class appeal. They're trying to replace the electorate.

Looks like it's Macron and Le Pen in the May 7th runoff.

If Le Pen wins, it will look like a "trifecta", what with Trump and Brexit....... 8-)
