French media is reporting this hour that Emmanuel Macron has won a massive victory over Trump-endorsed neo-Nazi loving Madeline Le Pen in the election for President of France: 65.1% for the good guys, to just 34.9% for the far-right.
Not only is this a big, big victory for common sense, Macron’s 30% margin is also far ahead of pre-election polling, which had given him a 24% lead.
This is a bit of speculation on my part, but it’s possible that the last-minute swing to even greater Macron margins may have been due to the attempt by Russian hackers and WikiLeaks to embarrass Macron with a last-minute dump of hacked emails. Apparently the French don’t take kindly to foreign interference in their elections.
Sacre bleu!
UPDATE:
The NYTimes is reporting that Le Pen has conceded.
