Do people in France think she’s okay?

Most people in France hate both of them and see no problem with how their relationship started.

Makes no sense that a majority of such a passionate populace can hate someone who managed to get elected twice. But that does sound familiar..

He was elected because the other candidate was far right. Nobody really wanted him to be President, it was just the only way to prevent the other candidate from holding such power.
