Election 2020 Debates

Pat Kenny kicks off tonight with just Leo and Michael for VM1 at 9.30

TheValeyard

On now. Seems Leo brought the backup with him.

Now back to the news then 9.30 switch over!

Claire Byrne is doing the RTE one next week, she would want to have a better handle on it than she had last time.

Pat Kenny always runs a tight ship keeping everyone in line.

Atlantic Dawn

They should allow them walk around with the mic so some gems like this can flow...

Here we go..

Sir Oxman

I'd say Mary Lou is chewing the knuckles off herself sitting at home in Cabra

TheValeyard

Hopefully, they have programmed the Kenny Android with good questions and skills.

Sir Oxman

'Hands' Varadkar

Using your hands is so in these days Leo, show me what ya got

Atlantic Dawn

FF can't lash in to FG seeing as they supported them the last few years.

It was like an Italian hand gesture you do when something is delicious

Atlantic Dawn

Pat runs a tight ship.

Read that as Pat runs a ****e tip.

PieOhMy

Little bit of Gaelige there to start . Wow he really is at one with the land beyond the pale.

Atlantic Dawn

Virgin should turn the heat up to 30 degrees to see how they handle pressure.

GusGus

Kenny badgered MM but not Leo ! Why ?

Blanco100

Jaysus Leo sounds like a novice. Not a very good speaker at all, like a young lad doing a bad presentation

Give him time, Pat knows what he is doing.

Sir Oxman

The first use of the word scandal
1 nil to LV

shenanagans

Leo called an early election because he lost support of independents.....what's he on about!

touts

Pat is determined to be the FG candidate for presidency when Mickey D passes on. Interrupting and arguing with Martin but Martin seems up for it. Leo looks terrified and over scripted but Pat is letting him ramble on with few interruptions.

Millionaire only not

Matt will probably tell u how good they are!

Sir Oxman

LV says it could be coalition with FF...about time the arse cheeks joined up and closed the hole

gmisk

MM wiping the floor with Leo so far.
Pat seems tougher on MM....

Atlantic Dawn

Can't see how they will get to 10:45 out of this.

PieOhMy

The real winners in all this are Leo's spin team and advisors. Can you imagine the time and resources hes put into his image and presentation skills and hes not any better than anybody else at that level.

C__MC

MM policies have austerity looming over them.

Sir Oxman

I'm waiting for the cranky Leo to come out, won't be long now...

GusGus

Again why is Pat interrupting MM and not LEO !

Eh.... don't see that myself. MM looks quite flustered already.

History Queen

I'm absolutely biased, but so far MM leading for me. Very measured in response both to Pat and Leo

Seems fairly even so far.

ricero

Why did Leo say they wouldn't go into government with Sinn Fein?

He is making more sense to me even with Pat being tougher on him.
MM seems angry...I quite like it tbh.

Atlantic Dawn

An arm wrestle at the end between them is the only way you can really call a winner.

Arghus

Leo sticking to his soundbytes.

Very much so, nothing seems off the cuff

PieOhMy

MM hand hand gesture game is way stronger than LV. He seems to have about 3 solid moves but who knows what else he has up his sleeves, LV as stated is over relying on the delicious Italian meal gesture

shenanagans

Leo lost for words after 13 minutes......FF ruined the country bla bla bla.

walshb

Both pretty decent.

Still think Gino Kenny wipes floor with both them!

Atlantic Dawn

The global meltdown excuse is actually what saved the country from bailing out Anglo etc from many more billions if they had access to more money.

Icsics

LV too smooth altogether & no substance. Ud think MM was the Taoiseach

VM1 will throw in a good few ad breaks I'd say. That will take a decent chunk from that.

C__MC

Leo scores there tbf with the IMF

WoollyRedHat

Like two bulls trying to milk each other...

Oscar Bravo

Cringe Leo.ohh man

Sir Oxman

LV getting in the hits about the disaster 10 years ago

LV admitting people think he's a cnut (no empathy) and so is his parrty
