In 2016, Emmanuel Macron and his allies formed a new political party in France that sought to renew political life by breaking the stranglehold of two largely do-nothing parties. A year later, Mr. Macron was elected president. He’s in D.C. this week. Can America take a page from his book?

In case you've been confused by the last few days of punditry, let me say outright that France is not America. For example, we recently concluded a presidential election in the United States in which many argued that it was imperative to smash the "final glass ceiling" by electing a female president. One doesn't hear that kind of talk in France about Marine Le Pen, who just came in second in the first round of presidential elections. Why is there no "ready for Marine" rhetoric? Because Ms. Le
