Race for the ARAS 2025

[Mad Mentor]

Surely it wasn't Connolly they were referring to when they built up anticipation about a game-changer candidate with some Irish and GAA links. Bizarre stuff from Mary Lou.

They probably though.... "well if it works for Trump"

[DaleCooper]

Shinners looking right eejits after all the sh1te talk during the week.

Once you see they work in a fashion similar to Qanon a lot more makes sense. Disappointed loyalists will be saying "amazing this is who we wanted"

Tbf they were never likely to rock the boat given their polling.

[Rossfan]

They could have just said "Decision next Saturday" instead of all tge dung McDonald spouted.

Steen and Sheridan the only other possibilities of making the ballot paper.

[weareros]

Restaurant Gemma will have some meltdown if Steen doesn't make the ballot.

Were they shitetalking or were the press filling a void on their behalf?

"I can tell you one thing about Sinn Féin, we are bursting with characters who are fit to run for the president and I've no doubt about it,"  - Pearse Doherty

They were definitely shite-talking. Amateur hour from the Shinners.

[JohnDenver]

If SF are to go into government they will have to form a coalition.

This move could aid their chances of doing so if it works out.

I would imagine that will be the party spin on things.

Will be interesting to see if Jarlath was lined up and got cold feet

[DaleCooper]

Jarlath and Jim tossed a coin, used the secret handshake and decided no blood letting was to take place.

The Family comes before all else.

[Snapchap]

They could have just said "Decision next Saturday" instead of all tge dung McDonald spouted.

She was asked by a RnaG interviewer if the person they were backing had Irish, and she answered "a lot" and that the party's participation would be "a game changer. It will be very much game on".

So in reality, she was at the ploughing and answered a few journalists questions (fairly briefly) and took the opportunity in her answer to (shock...horror...) try build up a degree of interest in the candidate they were backing for an upcoming election.

You make it sound like she made a video of herself "talking dung" while prancing around a farm in bright white trousers.

[Rossfan]

Another example of the need for a vetting process to get on on the ballot paper.

"There has been no candidate nominated for the presidency by Clare County Council after a special meeting saw five prospective candidates present to the local authority.

Prospective candidate and self-proclaimed "number one Irish Trump fan" Sarah Louise Mulligan stirred up uncomfortable scenes in the chamber as her views on "uncontrolled illegal mass migration", violence against women, and free speech rubbed multiple councillors the wrong way"

Meanwhile young Sheridan accepts his campaign is at an end.

[weareros]

Steen did not get the Leitrim county council nomination after reports earlier they would nominate her. Conservative Ireland not too happy - they seem to think other parties should automatically put her on ballot. Peadar still working on getting 20 Oireachtas votes.

Mulligan was there for the video - that will be edited for the Yanks to look like she was 'saying it how it is'. Don't forget to donate.

I still have no idea who Sheridan is or what was the point, but we move on.

So realistically it is 3 and an outside chance of Steen. Considering it was 6 in 18 and 7 in 11 that's not brilliant.

Connolly wins this now.

They're in meltdown
Revenge for Jimmy Gralton!

Brilliant Rossfan! They'll be trying to pull some dirt to stop Connolly though.. now throwing Hamas at her. FF/FG gutted it isn't SF to so they can wheel out victims they couldn't care less about when there is no election on.

[Baile Brigín 2]

FF got Facebook to take down the Gavin allegations. Probably the only approach they could take.
