Peter Casey to contest the European elections

She is terribly blend spouting the PC liberal line.
It's a pity Casey didn't win the presidential election

Casey wouldn't have been able to do anything as President.

Some people really have no idea how any of this works, do they?

He doesn't like travellers and refugees. That's all some.people want to see, sadly.

No different to anyone that has been President so. A monkey could do the job for a lot less.

LOL why am I not surprised you're a Trump fanboy

American economy I'd best it's ever been

Depends on what you base that on, wall street maybe but they are still in hock mightly to the saudis and chinese.

The wall is being built

Not technically true, it's more a fence and it is only partially being built and there is no guarantee it will get the funding it needs. So that's not accomplished either.

Putting America first

I don't agree here either. He's putting the Donald and his business interests first.

Peace building

LOL definitely saying bollix to this. The North Koreans are playing the Trump administration like a cheap banjo. His Putin love in is making a dangerous situation here in Europe worse. And even domestically he is fueling a growing rift between Americans that could be catastrophic in years to come.

Man is true to his word

I don't believe the Donald has ever kept his word on anything. The guy went bankrupt six times and stiffed thousands of small businesses in the process.

So why have a president at all?
It could be used as the biggest speaking platform

He can't think of anything to say again then. Familiar disposition of his during the pres debates.

That’s not exactly true though, is it? He made a comment about how he sees travellers and it struck a chord with a number of people.

He doesn’t like the Direct Provision set up and he’s got a point. It’s a terrible system but no one wants to try a different method as it’s making a lot of money for those running it.

I won’t be voting for Mr. Casey myself but I do think he’s misrepresented and a number of his supporters aren’t aware of that.

I'll respectively disagree I think he is doing a great job.
I admire him most because of his attempts to stop the USA engaging in war far and trying to bring out peace.
He is a man of peace

You don't understand it at all, do you?

A President represents everyone on this island whether everyone voted for him/her or not.

People voted for him because he 'told the truth' as opposed to anything he actually represents.

He also got his arse handed to him in the election, lest we forget.

If you put Casey up against Varadkar or Coveney, for all their faults, they'd wipe the floor with him. Insert Micheal Martin, Mary Lou, even Arlene Foster would walk rings around him.

But hey, you keep voting for someone with no policies other than to run his mouth and not back any of it up.

No he is very articulate today seems to have been media trained.
He just isn't letting lawlor get to him

Getting 22 per cent is getting your ass handed to you?

You've made it clear to me that you don't get it. So I will try and speak more clearly and slowly in future.

Racists tend to be that little bit slower anyway.

When the winner got 56 percent and and nearly 2-and-a-half times Casey's vote, I'd call that a walloping.

These aren't campaign issues. He can't effect any change to these situations...........

Isn't this par though for many elections and referendums too? People are elected on the basis of how they relate to the electorate, particularly in EU and presidential votes. Most voters I'd venture have a limited grasp of MEPs and their role - so it's more about projecting persona & style as opposed to substance. That was Ming's path and Casey will outMing him.

With practically the entire establishment behind said winner.

The usual pathetic response from your ilk to shout down someone else. I suggest you use a different word , people like you have destroyed the true meaning of what a racist actually is.

Casey is the leader we need, he tells it like it is unlike the usual waffle trotted out by Leo and Slimon and the likes.

Casey has some limited merits and occasional glimpses of the truth, but he's far from a leader. On balance, he's more of a liability than an asset.

And Casey immediately tried to join an establishment party. :rolleyes:

Casey did well enough in a sown up election, that no one was that interested in, where the only major party candidate was a dinner party cliche machine, an incumbent that all other major parties backed and a host of people already forgotten.

It was easy for him to be outside the establishment, people like throwing in a Rep. that is not of the establishment or for it.

Yes well rte accounts for at least half of higgans vote count.
They acted as election agents for him across radio and television. In both election campaigns.
Casey's vote came from the people in spite of Rte attempts to scandalise him mis quote him to make him drop out the race.
Sure killer tubridy threatened to beat him up after an attempted ambush on the late late show

Casey got a lot of working class support last time, especially in the West. That vote is still up for grabs.
