And there it is, “…steeped in dignity and decorum”. Good on you guys for having standards. US, not so much. This is why we don’t have nice things right now.

McGregor and Trump deserve each other. Heck, I bet Trump could find him a spot in his administration somewhere, maybe an ambassadorship; I mean, he checks all of the crooked boxes.

Right! In order to be in the Orange felon’s cabinet you at least need a few SH, SA, and toss in some pedophilia. Seems to be the winning combo these days.

There's a better chance of me knocking McGregor out, than him becoming President.

McGregor is a mouthy scumbag with money. We need to keep him well away from even theoretical power.

I hope Ireland persists and not elect hoodlums like we do in the US.

Don’t even let him be nominated. He is not a good person at all.

Supposedly- My “distant, distant, so on “ Irish cousin , Elizabeth Paterson/Patterson married ( not anulled as Napoleon stated) & divorced, Jerome Bonaparte. If I was younger than my 76 years, @ this horrific USA political moment, I’d move to Ireland, to meet my Maker when time comes . I’m an old hippie though , and need to be in USA , for my teen grandchildren.

Could be part of the script, the politicians won't have a choice in endorsing him or not if that's what their sugar daddy's want

Our electoral system is vastly different to the USA, Gary. Sugar Daddys don't count.

'Democracy' is the same everywhere though I'm afraid

Up to a point, yes. No one democracy is "holier than thou".
