2016 Postmortem

I'm in both France and Nederland every week, and I speak both French and Dutch. You, too?

Agreed on the no thanks, but neither of them is like Louie Gohmert or Tom Cotton or that crowd. Wilders doesn't have much of a chance, anyway, so I don't really pay a lot of attention to him, and won't until my Dutch friends do. Le Pen is more to be taken seriously, but her chances are only barely better. Neither of them are considered normal in their respective countries, where Gohmert and Cotton are now mainstream back home. Neither France nor Nederland is a scary place so far. Back home? Less so. Wilders is nowhere near being PM. Le Pen is nowhere near being Mme. Président(e). They're still way on the fringes so far. Trump is 34 days away from the Oval Office. So just who is it that's gone off the deep end here?

The last thing you want to be doing is relying only on the foreign (i.e. USA) press. You might consider getting out more, "meh" and all.
