Noticeably fake when you look at it, but if you were scrolling and not really paying attention people could be fooled easily enough. Technology is mad Ted.

Connolly hasn't much personality and is a bit smug as she knows she will get it. Humphries is genuine enough but not really suited to being president.

Looks like a 1st Count victory for CC then.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

MAGA Make Armagh Great Again

Would have the complete opposite view. Think one of the main reasons Connolly is ahead in the polls is her authenticity and willingness to speak out against injustices and face the media backlash of doing so.

Humphreys on the opposite side, is very much at pains trying to tell us that she is a lovely, caring community woman where her voting record is govt and treatment to Lucia O'Farrell paints a completely different picture combined with the negative campaigning and attack politics her campaign has carried out.

Humphreys didn't intend to go for President. She had retired from Politics. Her Party put her forward with no alternative as Mairead McGuinness pulled out. McGuinness was better suited.

Connolly is well able to talk and a former barrister. She is very dour. Then again so was Jim Gavin.

Connolly is far more savvy politician, she's well able to duck the hard questions. If she gets asked about her Russia friendly stance over the Ukraine invasion, she pivots to talk about Gaza.

What's this Russia friendly stance she has?

Immediately mentions NATO, starts bemoaning the lacks of voices for peace - which is both siding it, complains about European countries increasing defence spend.

This is exactly the same as what Kremlin voices do. Paint the 'special military operation' as some sort of mutual dispute.

She described countries like Estonia and Latvia understandably joining NATO as 'moving missiles up to the border of Russia'.

And even used that as some sort of 'context' in which to view the Skripal poisonings.

In tankie world, Russia is never an aggressor, always provoked.

Staggering.

It's the - yes, ok, but she was wearing a short skirt and dancing provocatively defence.
Poor Russia, never fully meaning to commit its latest atrocities and outrages.
