It’s not cherry picking. An American candidate that had said the things Le Pen has said would be completely unviable. There is a reason that Trump—who is concerned outside the American norms even among many Republicans—is always accused of using “coded language” and “dog whistles.” That’s because in the US, even the “right wing fascist” candidate can’t get away with saying the overtly racist things that European right-wing people can get away with.
You blatantly cherry-picked the 45% number, but you seemed to ignore that part of my reply. Also, why are you changing the subject to what's allowed to be said or not? Trump's madness wouldn't be viable in the EU either.
