Watch out for President Marine Le Pen

I think secretly a lot more French men and women who claim to be supporting Macron really want Marine Le Pen to win. It's the Trump situation all over again. Thousands and thousands, nay millions, of Americans who claimed to be voting for Hillary, actually voted for Trump. They just didn't have the courage to say out loud that they wanted Trump in the White House for fear of being ridiculed, hated or despised by their friends, family and next-door neighbours. I suspect the same is happening in France. Your middle class, well educated French voter would not dare to say they are going to vote for Le Pen and will speak hopefully about Emmanuel Macron as if he is the new saviour of France. But really deep down they don't want an unknown bloke who looks quire nice but is all wishy-washy about immigration and adores the EU. He will be Merkel's man no question. So when they go into the ballot box, these middle class decent voters will cautiously look over their shoulder and then put the cross against Le Pen and quickly sneak away into the night, pretending to have voted for Macron. So watch out on Sunday night. The polls indicate a landslide for Macron. But this is the new era, the era when a man like Trump became president of the USA, and Erdogan became the new Attaturk. It is not out of the question that Marine Le Pen will be president of France on Sunday. I could be wrong but I am sure there are a lot of French voters who will just say to themselves, "Oh zut, enough of these little men, let's go for the blousy Marine".
