Why hasn't this bloke mentioned the local authority route to candidacy, which is obviously the method Conor would use?
He doesn't need the support of 20 members of the Irish Parliament if he can get the support of four out of 31 of Ireland's local authorities. Still no small task by any means, but significantly more likely than going down the Parliament route.
'but Trump managed to become President' is absolutely a valid argument in this case. The Irish aren't much more intellectually gifted than the Merkins, God bless 'em, and he currently has better odds than some of the other potential runners.. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
