Both were convincing during the latest debate, but I am not surprised by the positive coverage the MSM is pouring on Macron. The latest opinion polls show him winning the second round by 59% vs 41%. So his victory is almost assured, although a very low turnout can brighten the prospects of Le Pen.
I want to disagree with you. All public opinion polls showed the French the victory of the Macron in the debate with results of 63% to 37% for Le pen. Do you think this situation "Both were convincing during the latest debate"? Be realistic and learn how to accept defeat.
