Support NeoGAF

I didnt knew Macron was popular on GAF. Dunno why though. That guy does seems a bit too much economically liberal and pro-companies/CEO to my tastes.

Because the only credible alternatives are Fillon and Le Pen and I'd kill for the chance to not have to vote for either of them.

From what I grasp from this Election Hamon vs Le Pen has more chances of Le Pen loosing than Le Pen vs Fillion

Hamon has no chance to be in the second round. And I doubt the people who vote Fillon would vote for Hamon lol.

If Fillon has to drop out Hamon has a clear shot at the second round

Not sure how French primaries work, but in the case that Fillon does drop his candidacy, does this mean that Juppé will run for the LR?

I don't think there's a clear rule, if Fillon has to drop out the right wing might be going to shatter once again

France 175.6 cm (5 ft 9 in)
Europe 177.6 cm (5 ft 10 in)

Almost all major candidates are below 1,80m. Not trying to start a height discussion here, but I thought it's noticeable how noone of them is tall.

(also added Valls)

Must have been carried over from Napoleon! lol

Hoping for Hamon (and this might help), Melenchon aint going to survive the rounds sadly bar a miracle.

he said he wouldn't, and according to les républicains should the candidate drop out of the race there would be another primary election.

In what world ? Fillon's voters would go towards either Macron or Le Pen (or whoever LR sends, since I imagine he would be replaced), they'd never vote Hamon.

Mélenchon is well above of Hamon in every poll there's been though.

And we'd have a second round Macron/Hamon, this is totally feasible. Fillon votes aren't going Le Pen's way

Napoleon was actually average height for the time. The height thing was mostly British propaganda.

Which voters are gonna transfer to Hamon if Fillon drops out ?

Actually the votes would come from Le Pen side, many people are leaning towards Le Pen because she's the one targeting the problems of the middle class(in economic terms), also Hamon is doing the same only that Hamon it's not a far right which is more appealing for those voters. Yeah I know how this sounds but people make odd choices

All of the left votes that would have gone to Macron if he was to be the "only """""left""""" alternative to Fillion", Fillion gone creates emptiness, and the last one to profit from it would be Le Pen

I don't think Hamon would be more appealing to these voters at all and there's no reason they would magically change their minds if Fillon dropped out.

I think it's delusional tbh but okay.

 

[Slaythe]

Juppé declared he won't run if Fillion drops out.

 

[Gurgelhals]

he said he wouldn't, and according to les républicains should the candidate drop out of the race there would be another primary election.

"Did someone say 'another primary election'?"

 

[Funky Papa]

Sarko's shit eating grin offends me at a fundamental level.

 

[MonsieurPaul]

We're going to have a second round Mélenchon - Le Pen with all this bullshit...

on topic, Fillon is still a better candidate than him, and he's close to being toasted

 

[Par Score]

Good news for Macron, let's hope it sticks.

Would be a sad day for EU.

 

[Alx]

Oh shit, the country would burn if Sarko was to run for the right... After all the fuss that was made during the primaries to be sure we get rid of him !

 

[G.O.O.]

So Fillon, while trying to defend himself for paying his wife for a no-show job, said he also employed two of his children as lawyers when he was a senator.

Turns out they weren't lawyers yet at the time.

Jesus christ, François...

I'm enjoying this way too much.

Edit: they all went on TV with a talking point about how "Fillon's hurt over this touched people".
Yeah, it touched me like Barbarin touched children.

That's a total campaign meltdown if I ever saw one. Can't wait to see the next opinion polls to see how big a hit he took.
