I follow French politics enough to roughly know what I don't know
And about Éric Zemmour I don't know how someone who's never run *anything* can at least be considered a viable candidate in the first round
*How* is that possible?

Someone like Marine Le Pen at least knows how to do basic organisation. She's run a political movement of sorts
Macron was a semi-outsider, party politically. But he'd been finance minister at least

Is the rationale with Zemmour that this is communication / culture war *alone*?
When the gaffes come (and they will come), is "hang on, it doesn't work like that?" going to stick? Or not? Are we so post-truth this isn't going to matter?

Can someone direct me to some piece, some essay, some analysis of where this is all going to go?
My assumption is he will run, and will possibly draw 15% of the vote first round, splits the populist vote, and if he prevailed, would have less chance than Le Pen 2nd round?

And please don't @ - reply me with your prejudices about Zemmour
I want to *understand* how this is playing in the public debate...
