100+ people killed in French terror attacks.

to be fair, they switched spots with the republicans in the last few weeks in the polls, the the national front only gaining a few points. the socialists were out in the regional presidencies basically to begin with, even without the paris atrocities. but yes, the attacks did improve the national front's polling in several regions so that it was ahead of the republicans. i guess i'm just trying to say even though the paris attacks played a role, it wasn't like they weren't already polling highly

the socialists have lost their shit completely. they are pulling out of second rounds in order to boost the republicans because they would rather have them then the national front. but that is the exact wrong thing to do if you want the national front out. that kind of shit is going to guarantee a le pen presidency in 18 months

how do you stop it? you let them rule. and if they fail, they fail on their own terms for all to see. instead, now le pen will be able to say the main parties were colluding to keep her party out of power. and she can even say that if she wins
